How to Calculate Discounts Manually

While our calculator is the fastest way, knowing the math is useful. The formula for calculating a discount is:

Savings = Original Price × (Discount Percentage / 100)
Final Price = Original Price - Savings

Example: A $50 shirt is 20% off.
Savings = 50 × 0.20 = $10
Final Price = 50 - 10 = $40

Smart Shopping Tips

Compare Final Prices: Don't just look at the percentage. A $100 item at 50% off ($50) is still more expensive than a $40 item at regular price.
Stacking Coupons: Check if you can apply store coupons on top of sale prices for extra savings.
Watch for "Up To": Signs saying "Up to 70% off" often mean only a few select items are that cheap.
