What is a discount?

A discount is a reduction from the original price of a product or service. It can be expressed as a percentage (e.g., 20% off) or a fixed amount. The sale price = original price − discount. Percent-off and amount-off are common in retail and promotions.

How to use this discount calculator

Enter the original price and either the discount percentage or the discount amount. The calculator will show the final price you pay and the amount saved. Use it while shopping to quickly check sale prices and compare deals.

Percentage off vs amount off

Percentage off is applied to the original price (e.g., 25% off $80 = $20 off, pay $60). Amount off subtracts a fixed value (e.g., $15 off $80 = pay $65). For the same final price, a higher percentage off on a higher original price can mean more absolute savings.
