How to use this Calculator Site tool

Enter the original price of the item. Choose whether the primary discount is a percentage (%) or a fixed amount (£). Input the discount value. If you have a second, stackable discount (always a percentage), enter it in the optional field. The  calculator will instantly show you the final price and your total savings. You can also use the 'Reverse Mode' to find the discount percentage if you know the original and sale prices.

Understanding Discount Calculations

Understanding how discounts are calculated can empower you to be a smarter shopper. The basic principle involves reducing the original price by a certain percentage or a fixed amount. For a percentage discount, the key is to convert the percentage into a decimal (by dividing by 100) and multiplying that by the original price. This gives you the monetary value of the saving, which you then subtract from the original price to find your final cost. This Calculator Site tool makes these calculations simple, and you can use our percentage calculator for more general calculations.

A Note on Stacking Discounts

When multiple discounts are applied, it is important to remember they are sequential. The second discount is applied to the already-reduced price, not the original price. For example, 20% off plus an additional 10% off is not the same as 30% off; it is actually a 28% effective discount.
