Frequently asked questions

How is the discount calculated?

Discount amount = original price × discount % ÷ 100. Final price = original price − discount amount.

Does it handle two discounts in a row?

Apply them one after another: use the final price of the first discount as the original price for the second. Two discounts are not simply added together.

How the Discount Calculator works

Discount amount = (original price × discount %) ÷ 100, and final price = original price − discount amount. Enter the price and the discount percentage to see how much you save and what you actually pay.

This tool applies one discount at a time. For stacked offers such as "20% off plus an extra 10% off", apply the discounts one after the other. They do not add up to 30%.

Worked examples

Example 1: A pair of shoes is listed at ₹2,499 with 30% off. Discount = ₹749.70, so you pay ₹1,749.30.

Example 2 (stacked discounts): A ₹1,000 item gets 20% off, then an extra 10% off. After the first discount it costs ₹800, and after the second it costs ₹720. That is an effective discount of 28%, not 30%.

Tips and common mistakes

More questions about the Discount Calculator

How do I find the original price if I only know the sale price?

Divide the sale price by (1 − discount ÷ 100). If a shirt costs ₹1,400 after 30% off, the original price was 1,400 ÷ 0.70 = ₹2,000.

How do I calculate a percentage discount from two prices?

Discount % = (original − sale) ÷ original × 100. From ₹500 to ₹400 is a 20% discount.

Why are two 10% discounts not 20%?

The second discount is applied to the already reduced price. Two 10% discounts together equal 19%.

Does the calculator accept a discount above 100%?

No. A discount must be between 0% and 100%.
