Discount calculation formulas
A percentage discount always applies to a defined price base.
Discount amount
Savings = Original price × Discount / 100
This is the amount deducted from the original price.
Price after discount
Final price = Original price × (1 − Discount / 100)
A 20% discount is equivalent to multiplying the original price by 0.80.
Find the percentage
Discount = (Original price − Final price) / Original price × 100
This formula finds the actual reduction between two prices.
For successive discounts, each reduction applies to the price obtained after the previous discount.
See the detailed explanationWhy do two discounts not simply add up?
The second reduction applies to an already reduced price, not the original price.
- −20% then −10% = −28% overall
- The second percentage uses a smaller base
Discount, margin and selling price
A promotion lowers the selling price and can significantly change the margin actually earned.
- Discounted price ≠ unchanged margin
- Check margin before a promotion
Fonctionnement
How does this tool work?
In price-after-discount mode, the calculator applies the percentage to the original price and calculates both savings and final price.
In reverse mode, it compares the original and final prices to find the actual discount percentage.
With successive discounts, the second discount applies to the already reduced price: 20% followed by 10% therefore equals an effective 28% discount, not 30%.

Examples
20% off €100
Savings: €20; final price: €80.
Input
€100 · 20% discountTwo successive discounts
Final price: €72; effective reduction: 28%.
Input
€100 · −20% then −10%Tips and best practices
- For a 30% discount, multiplying the price directly by 0.70 is often the quickest calculation.
- Do not simply add two percentages when they are applied successively.
- For a business, compare a commercial discount with the remaining margin after the reduction.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 20% discount?
Multiply the original price by 0.20 to find the savings, then subtract them. You can also multiply the price directly by 0.80.
How do I find the discount percentage?
Subtract the final price from the original price, divide the difference by the original price, then multiply by 100.
Do discounts of 20% and 10% equal 30%?
No. The second discount applies to the already reduced price. A 20% discount followed by 10% gives an overall reduction of 28%.
Can a discount be 100%?
Yes. Mathematically, a 100% discount reduces the final price to zero.
Does a discount reduce margin?
Usually yes if costs remain unchanged, because the selling price falls while purchase or production cost does not.
