About this calculator

A discount percentage tells you what comes off, not what you pay. Enter the original price and the advertised percentage, and this calculator shows both: the rupee amount you save and the price you actually hand over.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the original price, before any discount.
  2. Enter the advertised discount percentage.
  3. Read the amount saved and the final price.

If a listing shows a discounted price and you want to know the percentage instead, use the percentage calculator in "percentage change" mode.

The formula

Saving      = Original price x Discount / 100
Final price = Original price - Saving

Equivalently, the final price is the original multiplied by (100 − discount) / 100. A 30% discount means paying 70% of the original.

Worked example

A power bank listed at ₹2,499 with 30% off:

Saving      = 2,499 x 30 / 100 = 749.70
Final price = 2,499 - 749.70   = 1,749.30

You pay 70% of the original price.

Notes and limits

  • Discounts on Indian marketplaces are usually applied to the GST-inclusive listed price, so the figure here is what you pay at checkout.
  • Two discounts applied one after another do not add up. 20% then 10% is a 28% total discount, not 30%, because the second is taken off the already-reduced price.
  • A "was" price is not always a price the item genuinely sold at. Compare against the current market price rather than the struck-through figure.

What this calculation assumes

  • A single discount is applied to the whole price.
  • The price entered is the price the discount applies to.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a discount percentage manually?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100. That gives the saving. Subtract it from the original price to get what you pay.

Do two stacked discounts add together?

No. Applying 20% and then 10% gives a total discount of 28%, not 30%, because the second discount is calculated on the already-reduced price. Multiply the remaining shares instead: 0.80 x 0.90 = 0.72, so you pay 72%.

Is the discount applied before or after GST?

On Indian marketplaces the advertised price is normally GST-inclusive, so the discount comes off the inclusive figure and the result is what you pay. If you are working with pre-tax figures, apply the discount first and then add GST.
