Formula and method
This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:
- Savings:
price * discount / 100 - Final price:
price * (1 - discount/100)
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.
Examples
- Example: with Original price = 100 $, Discount = 20 %, this calculator returns Savings = 20 $, Final price = 80 $.

Stacking discounts doesn't add the way it looks
Two discounts don't simply add together. A 20% discount followed by a separate 10% discount is not a 30% total discount -- it's applied sequentially, so the second discount is calculated on the already-reduced price, giving a combined discount of 28%, not 30%. This matters for comparing 'stacked' coupon or sale offers, where the order and method of stacking changes the real final price.
