Original price

Discount percentage

Quick discount reference

10% off — you pay 90% of the original price.
25% off — you pay 75%, save a quarter.
50% off — half price, classic markdown.
Stacked discounts — multiply (1 − d%), don\'t add. 30%+10% ≠ 40%.
BOGO (Buy 1 Get 1) — equivalent to 50% off per unit.
GST on discount — applied to final discounted price (point-of-sale).

How a discount is calculated

Discount math is straightforward — but useful for pricing strategy, sale planning, and comparison shopping.

01
Original price
The listed price before any discount is applied.
```
price = 5000
```
02
Discount percentage
What percentage off the original price is being offered.
```
discount = price × pct ÷ 100
```
03
Final price
Subtract the discount from original to get final payable.
```
final = price − discount
// or: price × (1 − pct/100)
```

FormulaFinal = Original × (1 − Discount% ÷ 100)For a stacked discount (e.g., 30% + 10% off): apply sequentially, not additively.

FAQs about discounts

How do I calculate percentage off?

Discount amount = original price × discount% ÷ 100. Then final price = original − discount. Example: 25% off ₹5,000 = ₹1,250 discount, final ₹3,750.

Are stacked discounts additive?

No. A 30% + 10% discount is NOT 40% off. It's 30% off first → ₹3,500 → then 10% off that → ₹3,150 (37% effective discount).

How do I calculate the original price from discount?

Reverse formula: original = final ÷ (1 − discount%/100). Example: final ₹3,750 at 25% off → original = ₹3,750 ÷ 0.75 = ₹5,000.

What's the difference between markup and discount?

Markup = increase from cost to selling price (cost-based). Discount = reduction from listed price (sales-based). 50% markup ≠ 50% discount when reversed.

Is GST applied before or after discount?

For unconditional discounts at the point of sale: GST is on the discounted price. For post-sale discounts: GST is on original. Always read the invoice carefully.

How big a discount is "worth it"?

Depends on your need vs. the saving. Industry rule: anything above 15% off MRP is meaningful for branded goods. Below that, often just shelf-rotation pricing.

Can a discount be more than 100%?

Mathematically no — that would mean negative price. Real-world: only via cashback or stacked offers that exceed item value (rare and usually a marketing gimmick).

How to calculate effective discount across multiple offers?

Multiply (1 − each%/100). E.g., 30% + 10% + 5%: 0.7 × 0.9 × 0.95 = 0.5985 → 40.15% effective discount.
