How to Use Discount Calculator
- Enter the original price of the item.
- Enter the discount percentage.
- If there is an additional discount (e.g., "extra 10% off"), enter it in the second discount field.
- The calculator automatically computes the discount amount, final price, and total percentage saved.
How it Works
The Discount Calculator computes the amount saved by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage. For successive discounts, it applies the first discount to find a new subtotal, and then applies the second discount to that reduced subtotal. This is mathematically different from simply adding the two percentages together.
Examples
Input: Price: ₹1000, Discount: 20%
Result: Final Price: ₹800, Saved: ₹200
Input: Price: ₹1000, Discount 1: 20%, Discount 2: 10%
Result: Final Price: ₹720 (Not ₹700)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 20% discount plus a 10% discount the same as a 30% discount?
No. Successive discounts are applied one after the other. A 20% discount on ₹100 leaves ₹80. An additional 10% discount is taken from the ₹80 (which is ₹8), resulting in a final price of ₹72. A flat 30% discount would result in a final price of ₹70.
How do I calculate a discount manually?
To calculate a discount manually, convert the percentage to a decimal (e.g., 20% = 0.20) and multiply it by the original price. Subtract that result from the original price to find the final cost.
