Discount Calculator – Sale Price & Savings %

Discounts reduce the original price by a percentage. The final price equals the original price minus the discount amount. You can also reverse-calculate to find what discount percentage was applied given the original and final prices. Worked example: an $80 jacket discounted 25% costs $80 × 0.75 = $60, saving you $20. Stack a further 10% off at the register and you pay $54.00, because sequential discounts multiply (0.75 × 0.90 = 0.675), they never simply add to 35%.
