How do I calculate price after discount?

Final price = Original Price × (1 − Discount% / 100). Example: Rs.1000 with 20% off = Rs.1000 × 0.8 = Rs.800.

How do I calculate the discount percentage?

Discount % = ((Original Price − Sale Price) / Original Price) × 100. Example: Rs.500 marked down to Rs.400 = (100/500) × 100 = 20% discount.

How Discount Calculation Works

A discount is a reduction from the original price, usually expressed as a percentage. Retailers use discounts to attract buyers, clear inventory, or reward loyal customers. Understanding discount math helps you quickly verify whether a "sale" is genuinely good value or just clever marketing.

Discount Formula

Discount Amount = Original Price × Discount% ÷ 100
Final Price = Original Price − Discount Amount
Effective Discount% = ((Original − Final) ÷ Original) × 100

Real Shopping Examples

Example 1: Shoe MRP ₹4,500, sale price ₹2,700 → Discount = (1800÷4500)×100 = 40% off, save ₹1,800
Example 2: "Buy 2 get 1 free" on ₹300 items → Pay ₹600 for 3 = effective price ₹200 each = 33.3% off
Example 3: 20% + additional 10% off → NOT 30% off. 20% off ₹1,000 = ₹800, then 10% off ₹800 = ₹720 = 28% total discount

Don't Fall for These Discount Tricks

🎭

Inflated MRP

Products are often listed at artificially high MRPs before sale season. A product "was ₹5,000, now ₹2,500" may never have sold at ₹5,000. Check historical prices on CamelCamelCamel or Google Shopping.

🧮

Stacked Discounts

Successive discounts don't add up. 30% + 20% off = 44% total, not 50%. Always calculate the final price rather than adding percentages.

Minimum Purchase Tricks

"20% off on orders above ₹999" often makes people add unnecessary items. Calculate: is the extra ₹200 item worth it just to cross ₹999 for a ₹200 discount? Not always.

💳

Bank Card Discounts

Credit card discounts are real savings. An extra 10% off on HDFC card during Flipkart sale on a ₹15,000 purchase saves ₹1,500. Check your bank's offers before every big purchase.
