Question 1

How do I calculate a discount?

Accepted Answer

Enter the original price and choose discount type (percentage or fixed amount). For percentage discounts, enter the percentage (e.g., 20% off). For fixed amounts, enter the dollar amount (e.g., $10 off). The calculator shows the final price and savings.

Question 2

What's the difference between percentage and fixed amount discounts?

Accepted Answer

Percentage discounts reduce the price by a percentage (e.g., 20% off $100 = $20 off, final price $80). Fixed amount discounts reduce by a specific dollar amount (e.g., $10 off $100 = final price $90). Choose based on how the discount is advertised.

Question 3

How do I calculate savings from a discount?

Accepted Answer

The calculator automatically shows your savings amount (how much you save) and the final price (what you pay). Savings = Original Price - Final Price. This helps you see the value of the discount.

Question 4

Can I use this for multiple discounts?

Accepted Answer

This calculator handles one discount at a time. For multiple discounts, calculate the first discount, then use the final price as the new original price for the second discount. Some stores allow stacking discounts.

Question 5

How do I know if a discount is a good deal?

Accepted Answer

Compare the final price to similar products, check if the discount is significant (higher percentages save more), and consider if the discounted price fits your budget. The calculator shows both savings amount and final price to help you decide.
