Use this Discount Calculator to find the price after a discount, calculate total savings, and estimate the final cost of your purchase. Enter the original price, choose a percentage or fixed-dollar discount, and specify the quantity. You can also include sales tax to estimate how much you will pay at checkout.
How to Use the Discount Calculator
Enter the item’s original price and select the discount type that matches the offer. Add the discount percentage or fixed amount, then enter the quantity you want to buy. If sales tax applies, enter the tax rate and select the available tax calculation method.
The calculator estimates the discounted price, savings per item, total savings, and final purchase cost.
Understanding Your Discount Results
- Original price: The price before the discount.
- Discount amount: The amount deducted from the original price.
- Discounted price: The price after applying the discount, before tax.
- Total savings: The combined discount across the selected quantity.
- Sales tax: The estimated tax based on your entries and selected method.
- Final price: The estimated total payable after discounts and applicable tax.
For example, if an item costs $100 and has a 20% discount, you save $20 and pay $80 before tax. If you buy three identical items under the same offer, your total savings are $60 before tax.
Percentage Discount vs. Fixed-Dollar Discount
A percentage discount reduces the price by a percentage of its original value. For example, 15% off a $200 item saves $30.
A fixed-dollar discount subtracts a specific amount from the price. For example, a $25 discount on a $200 item reduces the price to $175.
Select the option that matches the actual offer. Check whether the discount applies to each item or the entire order, because this affects your total savings.
Calculating Discounts With Sales Tax
When you include sales tax, the final price depends on the tax rate and how the discount is applied. Enter the applicable rate to estimate your checkout total.
Actual tax treatment can vary by location, product, and retailer. Use the result as an estimate rather than a guaranteed final receipt amount.
