Smart Shopping Tips

• Compare prices across different retailers
• Check if the discount is the best available
• Consider the total cost, not just the discount
• Be aware of marketing tactics around discounts

To calculate a discount, multiply the original price by the discount percentage, then subtract that amount from the original price to get the final sale price.

This tool currently calculates a single discount at a time. For multiple discounts, apply each discount sequentially to the new price.

A percentage discount reduces the price by a certain percent, while a fixed discount subtracts a set amount. This tool uses percentage discounts.

This calculator shows the discount before tax. For after-tax prices, apply the discount first, then add applicable taxes to the discounted price.
