About discount calculator
Sale prices are easier to judge when you know the real saving. The calculator gives the final price and the amount saved after a percentage discount.
Formula
Saving = price × discount ÷ 100, and final price = price − saving. A ₹2,499 item at 30% off saves ₹749.70 and costs ₹1,749.30.
Shopping tips
- Two discounts of 20% and 10% are not 30%. The second applies to the already reduced price, so the total is 28%.
- Compare the final price, not the size of the percentage.
- Check whether delivery or taxes are added at checkout.
A worked example
A jacket marked ₹1,999 with 35 percent off saves ₹699.65, so you pay ₹1,299.35. If a second coupon gives 10 percent off the new price, you save another ₹129.94, bringing the price to ₹1,169.42, a total discount of about 41.5 percent.
Finding the original price
If you know the sale price and the percentage, divide by one minus the discount. A ₹1,300 sale price after 35 percent off means the original was ₹2,000.
