How to Calculate Discount
- Open: Go to ToolsArena Discount Calculator
- Enter original price
- Enter discount %
- See: Discount amount, sale price, savings
Formula
Sale Price = Original x (1 - Discount/100)
Example: Rs 2,000 at 30% off = 2,000 x 0.70 = Rs 1,400
Quick Mental Math for Discounts
| Discount | Trick | Rs 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 10% | Move decimal left | Rs 900 |
| 20% | Divide by 5, subtract | Rs 800 |
| 25% | Divide by 4, subtract | Rs 750 |
| 33% | Divide by 3, subtract | Rs 670 |
| 50% | Divide by 2 | Rs 500 |
| 75% | Divide by 4 | Rs 250 |
Stacking Multiple Discounts
30% off + extra 10% coupon is NOT 40% off!
Rs 2,000: 30% off = Rs 1,400. Then 10% off 1,400 = Rs 1,260 (actual: 37% off).
Common Stacking
- Store discount + coupon code
- Sale price + bank cashback
- Bulk discount + seasonal sale
Smart Shopping Tips
- Calculate per-unit cost: Buy 2 Get 1 Free = 33% off, not 50%
- Compare original prices: Some inflate MRP before discounting
- Track price history: Is "sale price" actually lower?
- Factor shipping: Free shipping thresholds may save more
- Cost per use: Rs 5,000 jacket worn 100x = Rs 50/wear
