# About This Tool

A Discount Calculator computes the reduced price of an item after applying a discount percentage. It is a fundamental tool for consumers and retailers to determine the final transaction value.

Types of Discounts

  • Percentage Off: The most common type (e.g., "20% Off").
  • Fixed Amount Off: A specific dollar reduction (e.g., "$10 coupon").
  • Stacking Discounts: Applying multiple discounts (e.g., "Extra 10% off clearance").

# How Does Discount Calc Work?

# Mastering the Art of the Deal

Retailers use psychology to make sales look better than they are. Seeing "50% Off" triggers a dopamine release, but sometimes the original price was inflated.

Double Discounts (Stacking)

Be careful with "stacking" discounts. If a store offers "50% off plus an extra 20% off", it is NOT 70% off.

  • Example: $100 item.
  • First 50% off = $50.
  • Extra 20% off $50 = $10 off.
  • Final Price = $40. Total discount is 60%, not 70%.

# Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a 20% discount manually?▼
Move the decimal point of the price one spot to the left (to get 10%) and double it. For $45: 10% is $4.50. So 20% is $9.00.
Is 'Buy One Get One Free' a 50% discount?▼
Yes, mathematically BOGO is equivalent to 50% off each item, assuming both items have the same price.
What is a 'markup' vs 'discount'?▼
A discount reduces the price from the retail value. A markup adds to the cost price to set the retail value. They are opposite concepts.
Does this calculator handle sales tax?▼
This calculation typically finds the pre-tax subtotal. To find the absolute final cost, you would take the Discounted Price and then add Sales Tax.
