How Discount Calculation Works

Percentage Discount

For percentage discounts, the formula is:

Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
Sale Price = Original Price - Discount Amount

Example: $100 with 20% discount = $100 × 0.20 = $20 discount, $80 sale price.

Multiple Discounts

Multiple discounts are applied sequentially, not additively:

Price₁ = Original × (1 - Discount₁%)
Price₂ = Price₁ × (1 - Discount₂%)
And so on...

Example: $100 with 20% then 10% = $100 × 0.8 × 0.9 = $72 (not $70).

Smart Shopping Tips

  • Compare unit prices, not just discounted prices
  • Check if the original price is inflated before discount
  • Consider additional costs like shipping and tax
  • Stack coupons with store sales when possible
  • Use cashback apps and credit card rewards
  • Time purchases around major sale events
