Discount Calculator
Enter the original price and the discount percentage to see how much you save and what you'll pay. Useful at checkout, when comparing promotions, or when negotiating trade discounts. A discount and a percentage decrease are mathematically the same thing — the difference is context: a discount is applied to a price, while a percentage decrease describes any falling value. If you're a seller setting prices, the markup calculator shows the opposite direction — from cost to selling price.
When to use this calculator
Use this at the point of purchase to verify savings, when comparing two promotions (e.g. 20% off vs $30 off), or when calculating a trade or bulk discount before placing an order.

What is 20% off $80?

How do you calculate a discount?
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100. For example, 25% off $200: $200 × 0.25 = $50 off, final price = $150.
What is the difference between discount and sale price?
The discount is the amount you save — the reduction from the original price. The sale price is what you actually pay. Final price = original − discount.
What is 50% off $120?
50% off $120 is $60 off — the final price is $60. A 50% discount always halves the price.
How do I find the original price from a discounted price?
Use the reverse percentage calculator. Enter the remaining percentage (100 minus the discount) and the sale price to get the original. For example, $80 after 20% off means 80% remains — enter 80% and $80 to get $100.
