Additional discount

A percent off of a product or service is a common discount format. A percent off of a product means that the price of the product is reduced by that percent. For example, given a product that costs $279, 20% off of that product would mean subtracting 20% of the original price from the original price. For example:

20% of $279 = 0.20 × 279 = $55.80

$279 - $55.80 = $223.20

You would therefore be saving $55.80 on the purchase for a final price of $223.20.

For this calculator, a "stackable additional discount" means getting a further percent off of a product after a discount is applied. Using the same example, assume that the 20% discount is a discount applied by the store to the product. If you have a coupon for another 15% off, the 15% off would then be applied to the discounted price of $223.20. It is not a total of 35% off of the original price. It is less:

15% of $223.20 = $33.48

$223.20 - $33.48 = $189.72

Thus, with a 20% discount off of $279, and an additional 15% off of that discounted price, you would end up saving a total of:

$55.80 + $33.48 = $89.28

This equates to a 32% discount, rather than a 35% discount, and this calculation is how the calculator is intended to be used. As an example, to more efficiently compute the discount described above:

Final price = (0.80 × 279) × 0.85 = $189.72

This is because 80% of the original price is the same as subtracting 20% of the original price from the original price. The same is true for 85% and 15% case applied to the discounted price.

20% off 80 Calculation Explanation

In order to calculate 20% off 80 let's first find the discount:

Discount = (80 × 20) ÷ 100

=

1600 ÷ 100

=

16

Subtract the discount from the initial price to get the discounted price:

Discounted Price = 80 - 16

=

64

That's it! An item that costs $80, when discounted 20%, will cost $64.
