Formula
How it works: Convert the discount percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. Subtract from 1 to get the fraction you pay. Multiply by the original price. The difference between original and sale price is your dollar savings.

Worked Example
How Sale Price Discounts Work
A sale price is the reduced price of an item after a percentage discount is applied. Retailers use percentage-based discounts during seasonal sales, clearance events, and promotional periods. Understanding how to calculate the sale price helps you verify that you are getting the advertised deal.
- A 25% discount means you pay 75% of the original price
- Double-check advertised savings by calculating the sale price yourself
- Some stores apply discounts on already-reduced prices (stacking discounts)
- Sale prices do not include tax. Add tax to the sale price for the true checkout amount
- BOGO deals (buy one, get one 50% off) are effectively 25% off each item on average
This calculator shows the pre-tax sale price and dollar savings. For the full checkout total including tax, use the Tax and Discount Calculator.
You can also calculate changes using our Percentage Off Calculator, Tax and Discount Calculator, Final Price Calculator or Coupon Savings Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is sale price calculated?
Multiply the original price by (1 - discount/100). For a $120 item at 25% off: $120 x 0.75 = $90. You pay $90 and save $30.
Does this include tax?
No, this computes the pre-tax sale price. Tax is calculated separately on the sale price in most states. Use the Tax and Discount Calculator for the total including tax.
How do I calculate the discount from two prices?
If you know the original price and sale price, use the Percentage Off Calculator instead. It computes: (Original - Sale) / Original x 100.
Can I stack multiple discounts?
Yes, but discounts do not simply add up. A 20% off plus 10% off is not 30% off. The second discount applies to the already-reduced price: $100 at 20% off = $80, then 10% off $80 = $72 (effectively 28% off).
What is the difference between percent off and dollars off?
Percent off scales with the original price (25% off $200 saves $50, but 25% off $20 saves only $5). Dollars off is a fixed amount regardless of price. This calculator handles percent off; for dollar-off coupons, use the Coupon Savings Calculator.
