2. Final Price: Final = Original Price - Saved

How to Use the Calculator

2. Discount (%): Enter the discount percentage.
3. Calculate: The calculator instantly displays the final, discounted price and the total amount you saved.

Real-World Example

You find a jacket that originally costs $120 and is on sale for 30% off.

• Original Price: $120
• Discount: 30%
• Amount Saved: $120 * (30 / 100) = $36
• Final Price: $120 - $36 = $84

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How do I calculate multiple discounts? (e.g., 20% off plus an additional 10% off) You cannot simply add the percentages. First, calculate the price after the first discount. Then, use that new price as the 'Original Price' to calculate the second discount. For a $100 item with 20% off, the price is $80. Then, 10% off of $80 is $8, for a final price of $72.
• Does this calculator include sales tax? No, this calculator determines the price after the discount only. Sales tax would be calculated on the final discounted price.
• What if the discount is a fixed amount instead of a percentage? This calculator is for percentage-based discounts. For a fixed amount, you would simply subtract the discount amount from the original price.
