Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about discount calculations

1

How do I calculate percentage discount?

Discount % = ((Original Price - Sale Price) / Original Price) × 100. For example: ($100 - $75) / $100 × 100 = 25%

2. What's the difference between discount amount and percentage?

Discount amount is the dollar value saved (e.g., $25), while percentage is the proportion of original price (e.g., 25%).

3. How do I find the original price from a sale price?

Original Price = Sale Price ÷ (1 - Discount Percentage). For example: $75 ÷ (1 - 0.25) = $75 ÷ 0.75 = $100

4. Can I stack multiple discounts?

When stacking discounts, apply them sequentially, not additively. 20% + 10% ≠ 30%. It's 20% off, then 10% off the reduced price.

5. How does bulk discount calculation work?

Each item's discount is calculated individually: (Price × Quantity) - (Price × Quantity × Discount%). Then all items are summed.

6. What's better: dollar amount off or percentage off?

It depends on the item price. For expensive items, percentage discounts often save more. For cheap items, fixed dollar amounts might be better.

7. How do I calculate tax on discounted items?

Tax is typically calculated on the sale price after discount: (Sale Price × Tax Rate) + Sale Price = Final Price.

8. Should I include shipping in discount calculations?

For true comparison shopping, yes. Calculate total cost including shipping, then compare the effective discount on the total.

9. How do I compare buy-one-get-one deals?

BOGO is effectively 50% off when buying 2 items. Compare this to other percentage discounts to find the best deal.

10. Are discount calculations accurate for business use?

Yes, the calculations use standard formulas. However, consider business factors like markup, overhead, and profit margins.
