Discount %: Enter the percentage cut, e.g., 17.5 or 33.
Calculate Discount: Press the button to display results.

Discount: $$59.99\times rac{17.5}{100}=10.50$$
Final price: $$59.99-10.50=49.49$$
Example 2
$250.75 at 33 % off:

FAQ
How is percent saved calculated?
You divide the difference between original and sale price by the original price, then multiply by 100 %. Formula: $$ rac{P_{\text{orig}}-P_{\text{sale}}}{P_{\text{orig}}}\times100$$ (Investopedia, investopedia.com).
How do two discounts stack?
Apply them sequentially: a second 10 % discount reduces the already-discounted price, not the original (NRF, 2022).
Is a 100 % discount possible?
Retail discounts stop below 100 % because stores must cover costs; rebates can create net savings above list price (FTC, ftc.gov).
Should discounts apply before or after tax?
Apply before tax to lower the taxable base and total payment, a practice endorsed by state revenue agencies (California BOE, ca.gov).
Why does the tool use decimals instead of fractions?
Currency rounds to two decimals under ISO 4217, ensuring card networks process values accurately (ISO 4217 Standard, iso.org).
How does rounding affect totals?
Amounts round to the nearest cent using bankers’ rounding, minimizing cumulative error (GAAP, fasb.org).
MSRP is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price; discounts compare against it to signal value (Consumer Reports, consumerreports.org).
