How does this calculator work?
Apply a percentage discount to a price to get the sale price, then add sales tax on the discounted amount. Savings = Original × (discount/100). Total checkout = Sale price × (1 + tax/100). Multiply by quantity for a full cart total.
Formula
How this is calculated
A percentage discount reduces the listed price by the stated fraction — 30% off $200 means you pay $140. The saving is the difference: $60. Sales tax is then applied to the discounted price (not the original), so a 8% tax on $140 adds $11.20, making your total $151.20.
The quantity multiplier scales everything up so you can plan a cart of identical items. Total savings is the sum of per-item savings across the quantity, and total tax is the sum of per-item tax — useful for checking against the receipt at checkout.
Note that some retailers advertise discounts off an inflated "compare at" price rather than the regular retail price. Always cross-check the "original" figure against other retailers before deciding a deal is genuinely exceptional.
Frequently asked questions
Retailers apply the discount first to get the sale price, then calculate sales tax on that lower amount — which is better for the buyer. This calculator follows the same order: Original → discount → sale price → tax → final checkout price.
Savings % = (Original − Sale price) / Original × 100. For example, $200 original and $130 sale: (200 − 130) / 200 × 100 = 35% off. Enter both prices and back-calculate the discount by entering the ratio if needed.
Stacked discounts are multiplicative, not additive: 20% off then 10% off gives 1 − (0.8 × 0.9) = 28% total off, not 30%. For stacked deals, calculate the first discounted price and use that as the new original for the second discount.
