Common Examples
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| $80 item, 25% off | $60.00 (save $20.00) |
| $120 item, 30% off | $84.00 (save $36.00) |
| $50 item, 15% off, 8% tax | $45.90 (save $7.50 before tax) |
| $200 item, 40% off | $120.00 (save $80.00) |
How It Works
Discount Amount = Original Price x (Discount % / 100)
Sale Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
Price After Tax = Sale Price x (1 + Tax Rate / 100)
For example, a $100 item at 25% off: $100 x 0.25 = $25 discount, sale price = $75.
Worked Example
For an $80 item at 25% off with 8% sales tax: Discount amount = $80 × 25/100 = $20. Sale price = $80 - $20 = $60. Sales tax = $60 × 8/100 = $4.80. Final price = $60 + $4.80 = $64.80. Total savings compared to the original price (before tax) = $20.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a discount percentage?
Divide the discount amount by the original price, then multiply by 100. For example, if an item drops from $80 to $60, the discount is ($80 - $60) / $80 x 100 = 25%.
Is sales tax applied before or after the discount?
Sales tax is applied after the discount in most jurisdictions. This calculator applies tax to the discounted price, not the original price.
Can I calculate multiple discounts stacked together?
This calculator handles a single discount. For stacked discounts (e.g., 20% off then an additional 10% off), apply the first discount, then use the result as the new original price for the second discount.
