What is Double Discount?
The Double Discount calculation tells you your final price from a few simple inputs. The figure you are solving for here is the final price, expressed in INR.
The Double Discount formula
The core formula is:
Final price = Original price × (1 - First discount ÷ 100) × (1 - Second discount ÷ 100)Here is what each input means:
- Original price — a money amount. Example: ₹1,000.
- First discount — a percentage, such as an annual rate. Example: 2%.
- Second discount — a percentage, such as an annual rate. Example: 1%.
How to calculate it step by step
- Write down the original price (for example, ₹1,000).
- Write down the first discount (for example, 2%).
- Write down the second discount (for example, 1%).
- Apply the formula above to get your final price.
- Double-check the result with the Double Discount Calculator.
Worked examples
Example 1
| Input / Output | Value |
|---|---|
| Original price | ₹1,000 |
| First discount | 2% |
| Second discount | 1% |
| Final price | ₹720.00 |
| Effective total discount | 28.00% |
With original price of ₹1,000, first discount of 2% and second discount of 1%, the final price works out to ₹720.00.
Example 2
With original price of ₹2,000, first discount of 2% and second discount of 1%, the final price works out to ₹1,440.00.
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Final price | ₹1,440.00 |
| Effective total discount | 28.00% |
Example 3
With original price of ₹500, first discount of 2% and second discount of 1%, the final price works out to ₹360.00.
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Final price | ₹360.00 |
| Effective total discount | 28.00% |
Tips for an accurate result
- Keep your units consistent — mixing, say, months with years or grams with kilograms is the most common source of error.
- Round only at the very end. Rounding inputs early can shift the final answer noticeably.
- Re-run the numbers whenever an input changes, rather than estimating from an old result.
