Find the discount amount, final price, and savings from an original price and discount rate.
A 20% discount on $80 saves $16, giving a final price of $64.
A discount reduces an original price by a stated percentage. First convert the discount rate to a decimal, multiply it by the original price, and subtract the discount amount from the original price.
For an item priced at 80 with a 25% discount, the discount amount is 20 and the sale price is 60. If a store also applies tax after the discount, calculate the discounted price first and then apply the applicable tax rate.
Do not enter 125 when you mean a 12.5% discount. The rate should normally be between 0 and 100. Also distinguish a discount from a markup: a markup increases a cost or price, while a discount reduces the original price.
Store promotions can include minimum purchases, coupons, exclusions, or taxes calculated at a different stage. The calculator shows the mathematical discount only; check the seller’s terms for the final amount charged.
