Discount Formulas
Mathematical calculations explained
Calculate Sale Price:
Sale Price = Original × (1 - Discount%/100)
Calculate Discount %:
Discount% = (Original - Sale) / Original × 100
Calculate Original Price:
Original = Sale Price / (1 - Discount%/100)
Stacked Discounts:
Final = Original × (1 - D1%) × (1 - D2%)
Stacked Discount Equivalents
Multiple discounts combined
Two successive discounts equal these single discounts:
| First | + | Second | = | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10% | + | 10% | = | 19% |
| 20% | + | 10% | = | 28% |
| 20% | + | 20% | = | 36% |
| 25% | + | 15% | = | 36.25% |
| 30% | + | 20% | = | 44% |
| 50% | + | 50% | = | 75% |

Frequently Asked Questions
To calculate a discount: Savings = Original Price × (Discount % / 100). Final Price = Original Price - Savings. For example, a 20% discount on $50: Savings = $50 × 0.20 = $10. Final price = $50 - $10 = $40.
Stacked discounts apply sequentially, not additively. A 20% + 10% discount is NOT 30% off. First apply 20% to get a new price, then apply 10% to that result. $100 with 20% then 10% off = $100 × 0.80 × 0.90 = $72 (28% effective discount).
Use this formula: Original Price = Sale Price / (1 - Discount%). If an item is $60 after 25% off: Original = $60 / (1 - 0.25) = $60 / 0.75 = $80. The original price was $80.
Discount % = ((Original - Sale) / Original) × 100. If original price is $80 and sale price is $60: Discount = (($80 - $60) / $80) × 100 = 25%. You're getting 25% off.
Not necessarily. Compare final prices, not percentages. 50% off $30 ($15) is worse than 30% off $50 ($35 → $35 vs $15). Also consider quality, need, and whether you'd buy at full price. The best discount is on something you actually need.
