Frequently asked questions

Subtract the final price from the original price, divide by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, (2000 − 1500) ÷ 2000 × 100 = 25% off.

The discount calculator starts from a known percentage to find the sale price. This one works backwards — you know both prices and want the percentage discount.

It is simply the original price minus the final price — the money you keep thanks to the discount.

No. A discount cannot exceed 100% of the original price. If the final price is higher than the original, that is a markup, not a discount.
