🛍️ Percent Off Calculator

To calculate percentage off, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (in decimal form). For example, a 25% discount on a $100 item would be calculated as: $100 × 0.25 = $25 discount. The sale price would be $100 - $25 = $75.

You can also calculate it directly: Sale Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount Percentage/100). Using the same example: $100 × (1 - 0.25) = $100 × 0.75 = $75.

This calculator does all these calculations for you automatically, and supports multiple currencies for international shopping comparisons.

Percent off is a discount based on a percentage of the original price, while fixed amount off subtracts a specific amount regardless of the original price. For example, 20% off a $50 item saves you $10, while a $10 fixed discount saves you $10 on any priced item.

Which is better depends on the original price:

• For expensive items: Percentage discounts usually save you more money
• For inexpensive items: Fixed amount discounts might be better

Some stores offer tiered discounts (e.g., 20% off $50+, 30% off $100+), so it's important to calculate which option gives you the best deal based on your total purchase amount.

To find the original price from a discounted price, divide the sale price by 1 minus the discount percentage (in decimal form). For example, if an item is on sale for $60 after a 20% discount, the original price would be $60 ÷ (1 - 0.20) = $60 ÷ 0.80 = $75.

This is useful when:

• You see a sale price but want to know the original price
• You want to verify that a discount is as significant as advertised
• You're comparing discounts across different retailers

Remember that some stores may show a "compare at" price that might not reflect the true original price, so use this calculation as a guide rather than absolute truth.

Whether a percentage off or fixed amount off is better depends on the original price of the item:

Percentage discounts are better when:

• The item is expensive (e.g., 20% off a $500 item = $100 savings)
• You're buying multiple items that qualify for the discount
• The percentage is high (e.e., 50% off or more)

Fixed amount discounts are better when:

• The item is inexpensive (e.g., $10 off a $15 item = 67% savings)
• The fixed amount is large relative to the item's price
• You're接近 the threshold for a higher discount tier

Always calculate both options if available to determine which provides the better value for your specific purchase.

Stacked discounts occur when multiple discounts apply to the same item (e.g., 20% off sale plus 10% coupon). It's important to understand that discounts typically don't add together—they apply sequentially.

For example, if you have a $100 item with 20% off and an additional 10% off:

• First discount: $100 × 0.20 = $20 off → $80 price
• Second discount: $80 × 0.10 = $8 off → $72 final price

This is different from a straight 30% discount, which would be $100 × 0.30 = $30 off → $70 price.

Some stores apply discounts in different orders, which can affect the final price. Always check the terms and conditions, and calculate the final price to ensure you're getting the best deal.
