How the Percent Off Calculator Works

A percent-off discount takes that percentage of the original price and subtracts it. 25% off an $80 item is $20 off, leaving $60. This calculator shows both the amount you save and the final price.

To stack a second discount, apply it to the already-reduced price, not the original — two 20% discounts come to 36% off in total, not 40%.

final price = original × (1 − percent off ÷ 100)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate percent off?

Multiply the price by the percentage to get the discount, then subtract it. 25% off $80 is $20 off, so $60.

What is 25 percent off $80?

$60 — you save $20.

Do stacked discounts add up?

No. A second discount applies to the reduced price, so two 20%-off deals total 36% off, not 40%.
