Run the scenario.
The calculator is prefilled with the example above. Change any input and the result updates immediately in your browser.
- Discount amount = original price × discount rate.
- Final price = original price − discount amount.
- Sales tax is separate unless the store states otherwise.
- Sequential discounts are not the same as adding percentages together.
Find the discount amount first
Convert 20% to 0.20 and multiply by $150. The discount is $30. Subtracting that from the original price gives $120.
The same steps work for any price and discount percentage.
Be careful with stacked discounts
A second discount is normally applied to the already-discounted price. For example, 20% off followed by 10% off is not the same as a single 30% discount.
Quick questions.
Is tax included in the $120?
No. The example is the discounted price before any applicable tax or fees.
Is 20% off the same as paying 80%?
Yes. A 20% reduction leaves 80% of the original price.
