🎯 Triple Discount Calculator
Calculate final price after three discounts
How to Use This Calculator
Enter Original Price
Input the original price of the item before any discounts.
Enter Three Discount Percentages
Enter the first, second, and third discount percentages (e.g., 20, 15, 10 for 20%, 15%, 10% off). The discounts are applied sequentially - each discount is applied to the price after the previous discount.
Review Final Price
See the price after each discount, the final price after all three discounts, total savings, and the equivalent single discount percentage. Use this to understand the true value of multiple stacked discounts.
Formula
After 1st Discount = Original Price × (1 - First Discount%)
After 2nd Discount = After 1st Discount × (1 - Second Discount%)
Final Price = After 2nd Discount × (1 - Third Discount%)
Total Discount% = (1 - (1 - D1%) × (1 - D2%) × (1 - D3%)) × 100
Example Calculation:
If original price $100, discounts 20%, 15%, 10%:
• After 1st discount = $100 × (1 - 20%) = $80
• After 2nd discount = $80 × (1 - 15%) = $68
• Final price = $68 × (1 - 10%) = $61.20
• Total discount = 38.8% (not 45% - discounts don't add!)
About Triple Discount Calculator
A triple discount calculator helps you calculate the final price after applying three sequential discounts. When retailers offer multiple discounts (like a store-wide sale plus a coupon plus a loyalty program discount), the discounts are applied sequentially, not added together. This calculator shows you the true final price and the equivalent single discount percentage. Understanding how triple discounts work helps you make better purchasing decisions and understand the true value of stacked discounts.
When to Use This Calculator
- Multiple Discounts: Calculate final price with three discounts
- Stacked Promotions: Combine store discounts, coupons, and loyalty discounts
- Deal Comparison: Compare different discount combinations
- Shopping Planning: Plan purchases with multiple discounts
Understanding Triple Discounts
- Sequential Application: Discounts are applied one after another
- Not Additive: 20% + 15% + 10% doesn't equal 45%
- Compounding Effect: Each discount reduces the already discounted price
- Equivalent Discount: The total discount is less than the sum of individual discounts

Frequently Asked Questions
Do three discounts add together?
No, three discounts don't add together - they're applied sequentially. For example, 20% + 15% + 10% doesn't equal 45% off. Instead, you get 20% off the original price, then 15% off the already discounted price, then 10% off that price, resulting in about 38.8% total discount. This calculator correctly calculates sequential discounts and shows you the equivalent single discount percentage.
How are triple discounts calculated?
Triple discounts are calculated by applying each discount sequentially to the already discounted price. For example, with a $100 item, 20% off, then 15% off, then 10% off: First discount: $100 × 80% = $80. Second discount: $80 × 85% = $68. Third discount: $68 × 90% = $61.20. Total discount: $38.80 (38.8%), not $45 (45%). The formula is: Final Price = Original Price × (1 - D1%) × (1 - D2%) × (1 - D3%).
What's the equivalent single discount for three discounts?
The equivalent single discount for three sequential discounts is calculated as: Equivalent% = (1 - (1 - D1%) × (1 - D2%) × (1 - D3%)) × 100. For example, with discounts 20%, 15%, 10%: Equivalent% = (1 - 0.8 × 0.85 × 0.9) × 100 = (1 - 0.612) × 100 = 38.8%. This means three discounts of 20%, 15%, and 10% are equivalent to a single 38.8% discount.
Can I use this for more than three discounts?
This calculator is designed for three discounts, but you can use it multiple times by entering the result from the first calculation as the "original price" for the next set of discounts. However, for four or more discounts, it's easier to use the formula: Final Price = Original Price × (1 - D1%) × (1 - D2%) × (1 - D3%) × (1 - D4%)... where D1, D2, D3, D4 are the discount percentages applied sequentially.
