Check successive discounts carefully
Two discounts applied one after another are not added directly because each percentage is calculated from the remaining price.
How to calculate a discount
Multiply the original price by the discount rate to find the savings, then subtract those savings from the original price.
Two discounts do not simply add
A 20% discount followed by 10% equals 28% overall because the second discount applies to the reduced price.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a price increase?
Multiply the original price by one plus the percentage written as a decimal.
Does the result include taxes?
Only if the original price already includes them. The calculator uses the value you enter.
Can I enter decimal prices and discounts?
Yes. Decimal amounts and percentage rates are supported.
What happens with a discount above 100%?
It would produce a negative price and does not represent a normal sale, so check the entered rate.
