Percent Off Calculator (2024)

Actually, "percent off" and "a discount" are the exact same thing. Imagine it's Black Friday and all of the goods in a certain store are 75% off. Our sale calculator will figure out how much money stays in your pocket!

You can take a look at our discount calculator for more information on this topic 💰

Our percent off calculator is a special case of a percentage change, more specifically it uses the percentage decrease formula. The process of calculating your discount is as follows:

1. Enter the original price into our percent off calculator. For example, a TV set might originally set you back $5000.
2. Determine the percentage discount - in our example store, everything is 75% off.
3. The sum that stays in your pocket - your savings - is simply these two values multiplied by each other: 75% × $5000 = 0.75 × $5000 = $3750.
4. The final price of the product on sale is the difference between the original price and savings: $5000 - $3750 = $1250.
5. You can also use the percent off calculator to determine how much more you have to pay if the price of the product goes up! Simply type a negative value into the "off" box - our calculator will use the percentage increase formula.
