Discount & Sale Price Calculator — Free Online Calculator
How to Calculate Sale Prices
The formula is simple: Sale Price = Original Price x (1 - Discount%/100). A $100 item at 25% off: $100 x 0.75 = $75. Your savings: $25.
Stacking Discounts
When stores offer "25% off plus an additional 10% off," these discounts stack multiplicatively, not additively. A $100 item: first 25% off = $75, then 10% off $75 = $67.50. That's 32.5% total savings, not 35%. Always calculate each discount sequentially.
Sales Tax Consideration
Sales tax is calculated on the discounted price, not the original. If your state charges 8% tax on a $75 sale item: $75 x 1.08 = $81. You don't pay tax on the $25 discount.
