How to calculate a discount
To find a sale price, multiply the original price by the discount percentage to get the savings, then subtract it from the original. For example, 25% off $120 saves $30, for a sale price of $90. This calculator also adds sales tax so you see the true amount you'll pay at the register.
The formula
Sale price = Price × (1 − discount%/100). Final total = Sale price × (1 + tax%/100). Set sales tax to 0% if you just want the discounted price.
