Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate a discount?

To calculate a discount by hand, multiply the original price by the discount percentage (as a decimal). For example, 20% becomes 0.20. Then, subtract that amount from the original price. Our calculator does all of this for you instantly, saving you time and preventing simple math mistakes.

What is a "stacked" discount?

A stacked discount happens when a store lets you use more than one offer on the same item. For example, you might have a 10% off coupon that you can apply to an item already on sale for 20% off. Keep in mind that the second discount usually applies to the new, lower price, not the original amount.

Does the final price include tax?

No, the calculator only figures out the discount based on the price you enter. You will still need to add your local sales tax to the final discounted price to know exactly what you'll owe at the register.
