Review Margin After Discount
See the discounted price, profit margin after discount, and compare it to the original margin. Use this to understand how discounts affect your profit margins.
Formula
Discounted Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount%)
Profit = Discounted Price - Cost
Margin After Discount = (Profit / Discounted Price) × 100
Example Calculation:
If original price $100, cost $60, discount 20%:
• Discounted price = $100 × (1 - 20%) = $80
• Profit = $80 - $60 = $20
• Margin after discount = ($20 / $80) × 100 = 25%
• Original margin = 40%, so margin decreased by 15%

Frequently Asked Questions
How do discounts affect profit margin?
Discounts reduce profit margin because you're selling at a lower price while costs remain the same. For example, if you have a 40% margin at $100 price with $60 cost, a 20% discount reduces the price to $80, and your margin drops to 25% ($20 profit on $80 price). The larger the discount, the greater the margin reduction.
How do I calculate margin after discount?
To calculate margin after discount: (1) Calculate discounted price = Original Price × (1 - Discount%), (2) Calculate profit = Discounted Price - Cost, (3) Calculate margin = (Profit / Discounted Price) × 100. This calculator does all the calculations for you - just enter your original price, cost, and discount percentage.
When should I offer discounts?
Offer discounts strategically: (1) Clear inventory, (2) Attract new customers, (3) Compete with competitors, (4) Drive sales volume, (5) Seasonal promotions. Consider the margin impact - ensure increased volume offsets the margin reduction, or use discounts for strategic goals like customer acquisition.
How much volume do I need to offset a discount?
To maintain the same total profit after a discount, you need to increase volume. For example, if a 20% discount reduces margin from 40% to 25%, you need about 60% more volume to maintain the same profit (original profit per unit / new profit per unit = volume multiplier). Use break-even analysis to determine required volume increases.
