What is Discount?

Discount is nothing but the reduction in the original price of a good or service. Most commonly, there are two types of discounts used by businesses.

  1. Percent Off
  2. Fixed Amount Off

In percent off, there is a fixed percentage discount applied to the original price of the product. Such as 10%, 25%, or $50%. Whereas in a fixed amount, there is a fixed amount of discount applied to an initial price. Such as $50, $99, or $150.

How to Calculate the Discounted Price?

The best way to calculate the discounted price is to use the Discount Calculator. Because it's easy, fast, and accurate. But if you are still interested in knowing the mathematical logic behind the calculation, just keep reading the instructions below.

If the discount is in percentage, we will use the following formula:

Discounted Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount / 100)

Now let's take an example:

Example:

Suppose the original price is $159 and the discount is 45%. Find the price after the discount.

Solution:

Place all the values in the discount formula and we get:

Discounted Price = $159 - ($159 × 45/100)

= $159 - $71.55

= $87.45

Your Savings = Original Price - Discounted Price

= $159 - $87.45

= $71.55

So, $87.45 is the final price after the discount and you are saving $71.55.

If you want to calculate the discounted price for the fixed amount off, you can simply subtract the fixed discount price from the original price.

For example, the product cost is $130 and there is a $30 off. So, in this case, just subtract the $30 from $130 and we get $100 as the final price.

How to Use the Discount Calculator?

  1. Firstly, choose the discount type. Whether it's a 'Percent Off' or a 'Fixed Amount'.
  2. If you choose the Percent Off, you will need to enter the original price and discount rate in percentage. But if you choose the Fixed Amount, you will need to enter the discount amount rather than the discount rate.
  3. After entering all the values, press the Calculate button and let our calculator do the rest.
  4. As a result, you will get the price after the discount and the amount of money you save. In addition, our tool shows the discount percentage when you calculate the fixed amount.
