Frequently Asked Questions
To calculate percentage discount: Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount Percentage ÷ 100). Then subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the sale price.
Discount percentage is calculated based on the original price (reducing the price), while markup is calculated based on the cost price (increasing the price). They use different base values for calculation.
Tax is typically calculated on the discounted sale price, not the original price. Final Price = Sale Price × (1 + Tax Rate ÷ 100). Some jurisdictions may have different rules.
This calculator handles single discounts. For multiple discounts, apply them sequentially: first discount on original price, second discount on the already discounted price, and so on.
