How to Calculate Discounts & Savings Easily
Whether shopping during seasonal sales, buying wholesale inventory, or evaluating promotional deals, calculating the exact discounted price helps you stick to your budget and avoid impulse purchases.
A discount percentage represents the reduction off the original retail price. To find the exact savings, multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100.

| ₹1,000 | Save ₹150 (Pay ₹850) | Save ₹250 (Pay ₹750) | Save ₹500 (Pay ₹500) |
| ₹5,000 | Save ₹750 (Pay ₹4,250) | Save ₹1,250 (Pay ₹3,750) | Save ₹2,500 (Pay ₹2,500) |
| ₹10,000 | Save ₹1,500 (Pay ₹8,500) | Save ₹2,500 (Pay ₹7,500) | Save ₹5,000 (Pay ₹5,000) |
Understanding Double / Stacked Discounts
Retailers often advertise "20% OFF + Extra 10% OFF". It is a common misconception that this equals 30% total discount. Stacked discounts apply sequentially:
1. First Price = Original Price - (Original Price × First Discount %)
2. Final Price = First Price - (First Price × Second Discount %)
For example, a ₹1,000 product with 20% + 10% extra discount drops first to ₹800, and then 10% of ₹800 gives a final price of ₹720 (an effective 28% discount, not 30%).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
In almost all standard billing systems, sales tax or GST is applied on the reduced (post-discount) amount rather than the full original retail price.
Divide the final price by (1 - (Discount Rate ÷ 100)). For instance, if you paid ₹800 after a 20% discount: ₹800 ÷ 0.80 = ₹1,000 original price.
