Always remember that a discount is only a "saving" if it's an item you actually need. Use our calculator to compare prices between different retailers. Sometimes a lower discount at a store with a lower base price is a better deal than a massive discount at a high-end boutique. If you're managing online sales, you might also find our PayPal Fee Calculator useful for determining your net take-home after transaction costs.
To calculate a 20% discount, multiply the original price by 0.20 to find the savings amount. Then, subtract that amount from the original price. For example, if an item is $100, the savings is $20, and the final price is $80.
In most regions, sales tax is calculated based on the discounted sale price, not the original price. Our calculator follows this standard logic: it applies the discount first, then calculates the tax on the resulting amount.
Yes. Simply enter the total original price of all items combined, and the calculator will apply the percentage discount to the entire sum.
