Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a percentage discount?
To calculate a percentage discount: (1) Multiply the original price by the discount percentage 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% discount: Discount = $100 × 20% = $20, Final Price = $100 - $20 = $80.
What's the difference between percentage discount and amount discount?
A percentage discount reduces the price by a percentage (e.g., 20% off), while an amount discount reduces the price by a fixed dollar amount (e.g., $20 off). Percentage discounts scale with the price (20% off $100 = $20, 20% off $200 = $40), while amount discounts are fixed regardless of price ($20 off any price). Percentage discounts are more common and fair for different price levels.
Can I combine percentage discounts?
Whether percentage discounts can be combined depends on the retailer's policy. Some retailers allow combining discounts (like a store-wide sale plus a coupon), while others don't. When discounts are combined, they're typically applied sequentially (not added together). For example, 20% off then 15% off doesn't equal 35% off - it equals about 32% off total. Use our Double Discount Calculator or Triple Discount Calculator for combined discounts.
How do I find the discount percentage from prices?
To find the discount percentage from original and final prices: Discount% = ((Original Price - Final Price) / Original Price) × 100. For example, if original price is $100 and final price is $80: Discount% = (($100 - $80) / $100) × 100 = 20%.
