Types of Discounts

Percentage Discount

A percentage reduction from the original price. Most common in retail sales.

Formula: Discount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
Example: ₹5,000 at 20% off = ₹1,000 discount

Fixed Amount Discount

A fixed rupee amount reduction from the original price. Common in coupon discounts.

Formula: Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
Example: ₹5,000 - ₹1,000 = ₹4,000 final price

Buy One Get One

Buy one item, get another free or at discount. Common in grocery and retail.

Formula: Effective Discount = (Free Item Value ÷ Total Value) × 100
Example: Buy 1 get 1 free = 50% effective discount

Bulk/Volume Discount

Higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities. Common in wholesale.

Formula: Varies by quantity tiers
Example: 10% off for 10+ items, 20% off for 50+ items

About Discount Calculations

The Discount Calculator helps you determine your savings, final price, and effective discount rate for various types of discounts including percentage discounts, fixed amount discounts, and multiple discounts.

How Discount Calculations Work

1

Percentage Discount

Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount Percentage ÷ 100)

Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount

2

Fixed Amount Discount

Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount

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

3

Multiple Discounts

Apply discounts sequentially, not cumulatively.

First discount on original price, second discount on already discounted price.

4

With Tax

Tax is calculated on the discounted price.

Final Amount = Discounted Price + (Discounted Price × Tax Rate ÷ 100)

Shopping Tips for Maximum Savings

  • Compare Prices: Use price comparison websites before buying
  • Wait for Sales: Major sales happen during festivals and season changes
  • Use Coupon Aggregators: Websites that collect all available promo codes
  • Stack Discounts: Combine store discount + credit card offer + cashback
  • Buy Off-season: Purchase winter clothes in summer for better discounts
  • Price Drop Alerts: Set alerts for products you want to buy
  • Check Return Policy: Some stores offer price adjustment if price drops within return period
Note: Discount calculations are estimates. Actual prices may vary based on store policies, additional charges, and specific terms & conditions. Multiple discounts are usually applied sequentially, not cumulatively. Always check the final amount at checkout before making a purchase.

How to calculate percentage discount?

To calculate percentage discount: Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount Percentage ÷ 100). Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount.

What is the difference between discount percentage and discount amount?

Discount percentage is the percentage off the original price (e.g., 20% off). Discount amount is the fixed rupee value reduced from the price (e.g., ₹1,000 off).

How are multiple discounts calculated?

Multiple discounts are applied sequentially, not added together. First discount on original price, second discount on already discounted price. For example, 20% then 10% extra = 28% total discount, not 30%.

Is discount applied before or after tax?

Discount is usually applied before tax. Tax is calculated on the discounted price. Some stores may show prices including tax, so always check the final amount.

What is the best time to get maximum discounts?

Best times are end-of-season sales (January for winter, July for summer), festival sales (Diwali, Christmas), and clearance events. Online sales like Black Friday and Cyber Monday also offer significant discounts.
