How Discounts Work:
A discount is a reduction in the original price, typically expressed as a percentage. For example, a 20% discount on a ₹1,000 item means you save ₹200, paying only ₹800. While the math is simple for small numbers, calculating discounts quickly for multiple items or complex percentages is where our calculator shines.

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

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)
