Discount Calculator
Calculate the final price after discount and see how much you save.
How do I calculate a discount percentage?
Discount Amount = Original Price x (Discount % / 100). Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount. Example: $100 item with 25% off = $25 discount, $75 final price. Quick mental math: 10% = move decimal left one place ($100 -> $10), then multiply (25% = 2.5 x $10 = $25).
What does "Buy One Get One 50% Off" actually save?
BOGO 50% off on two identical items = 25% off total purchase. Example: Two $100 items = $200 regular. With BOGO 50%: $100 + $50 = $150 total, saving $50 (25% of $200). It's a good deal but not as dramatic as it sounds.
How do multiple discounts work?
Discounts stack sequentially, not additively. 20% off + 10% off ≠30% off. Apply first discount, then second to new price. Example: $100 item, 20% off = $80, then 10% off $80 = $72 final (28% total discount, not 30%). Order usually doesn't matter.
