About the Discount Calculator
How to Use
- Enter the original price of the item.
- If you know the discount percentage, enter it directly. If you only know the final sale price, switch to that tab instead.
- Press Calculate to see the discount amount, discount percentage and final price.
Formula
Discount = Original × Discount% ÷ 100
Final Price = Original − Discount
Example
A ₹2,000 item with a 25% discount: Discount = 2000 × 25 ÷ 100 = ₹500. Final Price = 2000 − 500 = ₹1,500.
Detailed Explanation
Discounts are usually advertised as a percentage off, but the rupee amount you actually save depends on the original price — 20% off a ₹5,000 item saves far more than 20% off a ₹500 item. This calculator also works in reverse: if a shop only shows the original and sale price, switching to the "I know the sale price" tab tells you exactly what discount percentage was applied, which is handy for comparing deals across different stores.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the discount percentage if I only know the sale price?
Switch to the 'I know the sale price' tab, enter the original and sale price, and the calculator works out the discount amount and percentage for you.
Can the discount percentage be more than 100%?
No — a discount percentage above 100% would mean a negative price, so it is capped at 100%.
