Enter the original price and the discount percentage.
How to calculate a percentage discount
To calculate a percentage discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100.
Enter non-negative prices and discount amounts. A discount cannot reduce the final price below zero, so savings are capped at the original price.
How to calculate a fixed discount
A fixed discount is a specific amount that is subtracted directly from the original price.
For example, if an item costs 1,000 and the fixed discount is 200, the final price is 800.
Percentage discount example
Suppose an item costs 1,000 and has a 20% discount.
Discount amount = 1,000 × 20 ÷ 100 = 200
Final price = 1,000 − 200 = 800
You save 200 and pay 800.
Fixed discount example
Suppose an item costs 1,500 and you receive a fixed discount of 300.
Final price = 1,500 − 300 = 1,200
You save 300 and pay 1,200.
What is effective discount?
Effective discount tells you what percentage of the original price you actually saved.
This is especially useful when you use a fixed discount amount and want to know its equivalent percentage.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a percentage discount?
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100. Subtract that discount amount from the original price to get the final price.
How do I calculate a fixed discount?
Subtract the fixed discount amount directly from the original price. For example, 200 off 1,000 gives a final price of 800.
What is 20% off 1,000?
20% of 1,000 is 200, so the final price after the discount is 800.
What is an effective discount?
Effective discount shows how much of the original price you actually saved, expressed as a percentage.
