How discounts work
A discount is a reduction in the price, usually given as a percentage. This calculator shows the final price and how much you save, including offers with an extra discount on top, such as '40% off + extra 10%' during a sale.
Discount formula
Final price = price × (1 − discount ÷ 100) × (1 − extra discount ÷ 100)
The discount amount is price × discount ÷ 100. An extra discount is taken off the already-reduced price, so two discounts don't add up: 40% + 10% gives 46% off, not 50%.
Sale-season tips
- Compare the final price, not the percentage. A high discount on an inflated MRP may cost more than a smaller discount elsewhere.
- 'Buy 1 get 1 free' is 50% off only if you want both items; 'Buy 2 get 1 free' is 33% off.
- Bank card offers often have a cap, such as '10% off up to ₹1,500'. On large purchases the real discount is smaller.
- Check whether the price includes GST and delivery charges before comparing offers.
- Shops in India can't charge more than the MRP printed on a packaged product, though they can sell for less.
Worked example
- A shirt priced ₹2,000 with 40% off
- Discount = 2,000 × 40 ÷ 100 = ₹800, so you pay ₹1,200
- With an extra 10% off at checkout: ₹1,200 − ₹120 = ₹1,080
- Total saving: ₹920, which is 46% of the original price, not 50%
- Likewise, '50% + 20% off' is 60% off in total, not 70%
