Formula and method
This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:
- Original price:
discount>=100 ? NaN : sale/(1-discount/100) - Discount amount:
discount>=100 ? NaN : sale/(1-discount/100)-sale
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 Sale price = 80 $, Discount = 20 %, this calculator returns Original price = 100 $, Discount amount = 20 $.
