Frequently asked questions
How is a discount calculated?
The saving is the original price multiplied by the discount percentage, and the final price is the original price minus that saving. For example, 25% off $120 saves $30, so you pay $90.
How do stacked discounts work?
Two discounts do not add up directly. A 20% discount followed by another 10% applies the second discount to the already-reduced price — 20% then 10% is 28% off in total, not 30%.
Is the discount applied before or after tax?
In most places sales tax is calculated on the discounted price, so you save a little on tax too. This calculator shows the pre-tax price.
What is the difference between a discount and a sale price?
The discount is the percentage or amount taken off; the sale price is what you actually pay after the discount. This calculator shows you both.
