Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate percent off?
Subtract the sale price from the original price, divide by the original price, then multiply by 100. Formula: ((Original − Sale) ÷ Original) × 100 = % Off. For example, an item originally $80 on sale for $60: ((80 − 60) ÷ 80) × 100 = 25% off.
How do I find the sale price from a percentage discount?
Multiply the original price by (1 − discount/100). Example: $120 original price with 30% off → $120 × 0.70 = $84 sale price. Our calculator does this instantly for any values you enter.
How do I find the original price from the sale price?
Divide the sale price by (1 − discount/100). Example: you paid $63 after a 30% discount → $63 ÷ 0.70 = $90 original price. Use the "Find Original Price" mode above.
What's the difference between percent off and percent saved?
They're the same thing. "20% off" means you save 20% of the original price. If an item costs $50 and is 20% off, you save $10 and pay $40. Some retailers advertise "save 20%" while others say "20% off" — both mean the same discount.
How do stacked discounts work?
Stacked discounts (e.g., 20% off then an extra 10% off) are NOT additive — they're multiplicative. A 20% discount followed by 10% off means you pay 80% × 90% = 72% of the original, which is 28% off total — not 30%. Apply them in sequence using our calculator.
Is the calculator useful for business markup?
Yes — use "Find Discount %" in reverse: enter your cost price as "original" and the retail price as "sale price." The resulting percentage (negative discount) is actually your markup percentage. You can also use our Percentage Calculator for more markup scenarios.
