Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate percent off?
To calculate percent off: (1) Multiply the original price by the percent off divided by 100 to get the discount amount, (2) Subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the final price. For example, with a $100 item and 20% off: Discount = $100 × 20% = $20, Final Price = $100 - $20 = $80.
What's the difference between percent off and discount?
Percent off and discount are essentially the same thing - both refer to a percentage reduction in price. "Percent off" is commonly used in marketing and sales (e.g., "20% off"), while "discount" is more general. Both are calculated the same way: (Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price × 100. This calculator works for both percent off and discount calculations.
How do I find the percent off from prices?
To find the percent off from original and sale prices: Percent Off = ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) × 100. For example, if original price is $100 and sale price is $80: Percent Off = (($100 - $80) / $100) × 100 = 20%.
Can I use this for multiple percent off discounts?
This calculator calculates a single percent off discount. For multiple discounts (like 20% off plus 15% off), use our Double Discount Calculator or Triple Discount Calculator, which correctly calculate sequential discounts. Multiple percent off discounts are applied sequentially, not added together - so 20% off plus 15% off doesn't equal 35% off.
