2. Discount Formulas (US / UK / Global)
Core Equations
- Sale Price = Original Price − [Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)]
- Savings Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
- Original Price (reverse) = Sale Price ÷ [1 − (Discount % ÷ 100)]
Example – $90 item with 20% off (US)
- Original Price: $90.00
- Discount Rate: 20%
- Total Savings: 90.00 × 0.20 = $18.00
- Final Price to Pay: 90.00 − 18.00 = $72.00
Quick Reference Table (Base $100)
| Discount | Method | You Save | Final Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10% off | ÷100 ×10 | $10.00 | $90.00 |
| 15% off | ÷100 ×15 | $15.00 | $85.00 |
| 20% off | ÷100 ×20 | $20.00 | $80.00 |
| 25% off | Quarter (÷4) | $25.00 | $75.00 |
| 30% off | ÷100 ×30 | $30.00 | $70.00 |
| 50% off | Half price (÷2) | $50.00 | $50.00 |
3. Types of Retail & Trade Discounts
- Promotional Discounts — Seasonal events (Black Friday, Cyber Monday), coupon codes and BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) campaigns.
- Quantity Discounts — Price reductions based on purchase volume (economies of scale).
- Trade Discounts — B2B discounts manufacturers or wholesalers give to distributors.
4. Consumer Protection: Fake Discounts & End-of-Season Sales
Fictitious pricing is when sellers inflate the “original price” to make a discount look bigger. Use this calculator to reverse-calculate the true original value and avoid misleading promotions.
End-of-season sales (typically 50-70% off) help retailers clear inventory and free cash flow for new product lines – perfect for US and UK bargain hunters.
5. Currency Support & Sales Tax Notes (US & UK)
This tool works with any currency. Common codes: USD ($), GBP (£), EUR (€), TRY (₺), CAD, AUD and more.
In many countries including the United States, sales tax is applied to the discounted final price, not the original price, so you save on both product and tax. In the UK, VAT works similarly for many promotional sales.
6. Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the original price if I only know the sale price and discount?
Divide the sale price by [1 − (Discount % ÷ 100)]. Example: $80 after 20% off → 80 ÷ 0.80 = $100 original.
What is the difference between discount and markdown?
Discount is temporary or targeted. Markdown is a permanent list-price reduction to clear slow-moving stock.
How does sales tax affect my savings?
Tax is usually calculated on the discounted price, so you save on both the item and the tax – common in the US.
