What Does "Percent Off" Mean?
Percent off is the most common discount format in retail. A 30% off sale means you pay only 70% of the original price. Formula: Sale Price = Original × (1 − Discount% / 100).
How to Calculate the Discounted Price
Step 1 — convert the discount to decimal: 25% → 0.25. Step 2 — multiply by the original: $120 × 0.25 = $30 saved. Step 3 — subtract: $120 − $30 = $90. Our calculator does all three steps instantly.
Stacked Discounts
Two sequential discounts are NOT additive. A 20% off followed by a 10% off is not 30% off — it's only 28%: 0.80 × 0.90 = 0.72, so you pay 72% of the original. This is a common misconception in retail.
