About Discount Calculator

Discount Calculator instantly works out the final price after a discount, how much you save, and the effective discount percentage. Enter the original price and the discount percentage to see the sale price and your savings; or work backwards to find the original price or the discount percent from the numbers you know. It also handles successive discounts (e.g. "extra 10% off the already 40% off" sales) — a common trap where the combined discount is less than it looks. Useful for shoppers checking deals, and for sellers pricing products.

Why Use Discount Calculator?

How It Works

Sale price = original price × (1 − discount/100), and savings = original price − sale price. To find a discount percent from two prices: discount% = (1 − sale/original) × 100. For successive discounts, each is applied to the running price in turn — two 20% discounts give 0.8 × 0.8 = 0.64, i.e. a 36% total reduction, not 40%.

What you pay after a discount (on a ₹2,000 item)

DiscountYou saveFinal price
10%₹200₹1,800
20%₹400₹1,600
25%₹500₹1,500
30%₹600₹1,400
40%₹800₹1,200
50%₹1,000₹1,000
60%₹1,200₹800
70%₹1,400₹600

Scales to any price: final price = original × (1 − discount ÷ 100). For a ₹5,000 item at 30%, that's ₹5,000 × 0.70 = ₹3,500.

"Extra 20% off" is not what it sounds like

The most common shopping trap is stacked discounts. A "40% off, then extra 20% off" deal is not 60% off — the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. On a ₹2,000 item: 40% off makes it ₹1,200, then 20% off that makes it ₹960 — a real discount of 52%, not 60%. Always apply successive discounts one after another, which is exactly what this calculator does when you enter more than one.

Find the discount %, or the original price

The tool works both ways. See a "₹1,500, was ₹2,000" tag and want to know the discount? It's (1 − 1500 ÷ 2000) × 100 = 25% off. Or know the sale price and the discount and want the original? Divide: a ₹1,400 item at 30% off was ₹1,400 ÷ 0.70 = ₹2,000. Handy for checking whether a "sale" is genuine or the "original price" was inflated first.

Add GST after the discount, not before

In India, GST is charged on the discounted price, not the original — so the order matters for the final bill. Discount first, then apply GST to what's left. A ₹2,000 item at 20% off is ₹1,600; add 18% GST and you pay ₹1,888. Use this calculator for the discount, then the GST calculator on the reduced amount to get the exact figure at checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to calculate discounted price?

Sale Price = Original Price × (1 − Discount% ÷ 100). Example: a ₹2,000 shirt with 30% off = ₹2,000 × (1 − 0.30) = ₹1,400. You save ₹600.

How to find what percentage discount was applied?

Discount % = [(Original Price − Sale Price) ÷ Original Price] × 100. Example: item was ₹500 and you paid ₹375 → [(500 − 375) ÷ 500] × 100 = 25% off.
