What is the Discount Calculator?
The Discount Calculator is a free online tool designed to help shoppers and business owners instantly determine the final price of an item after a percentage discount is applied. It also calculates the exact amount of money saved and handles optional sales tax.
Why use a Sale Price Calculator?
During Black Friday, holiday sales, or everyday shopping, stores often advertise \"30% off\" or \"Half Price\" without showing the final dollar amount. This tool allows you to quickly verify the math and ensure you are getting the deal you expect before you reach the checkout counter.
How are discounts calculated?
The formula to calculate a discount is simple: you multiply the original price by the discount percentage (as a decimal). For example, a 20% discount on a $100 item is calculated as $100 × 0.20 = $20 saved. The final price is the original price minus the saved amount ($100 - $20 = $80).
How to use this tool
- Enter the original price of the item before any sales or discounts.
- Enter the discount percentage (or click one of our quick-select buttons like 20% or 50%).
- (Optional) Enter your local sales tax percentage if you want to calculate the final out-the-door price.
- The calculator will instantly display the amount of money you save and the final price.
