Percentage Off Calculator

Reviewed by CalcMulti Editorial Team·Last updated: ·Percentage & Ratio Hub

To find the sale price after a percentage discount, use: Sale Price = Original × (1 − Discount% / 100). Savings = Original × (Discount% / 100). For example, 20% off $79.99: Sale Price = $79.99 × 0.80 = $63.99. Savings = $79.99 × 0.20 = $16.00.

This calculator also works in reverse: given the original price and the sale price, it finds the discount percentage applied. Formula: Discount% = ((Original − Sale) / Original) × 100.

Quick mental math: for 10% off, move the decimal one place left. 10% of $49.90 = $4.99. For 20%, double that: $9.98. For 25% off, divide by 4: $49.90 ÷ 4 = $12.48 off.

Formula

Sale Price = Original × (1 − Discount% / 100)

Original
the full price before the discount
Discount%
the percentage reduction (e.g. 20 for 20% off)
Sale Price
the final price after applying the discount
Savings
