About the Discount Calculator
Discounts are everywhere in India - from big billion day sales to pharmacy promotions - but the math is often misleading. A 40% discount on a product with a 400% markup still leaves the seller with a healthy margin. Understanding how to calculate the final price, the actual savings, and the original price from a sale price helps you evaluate whether a 'deal' is genuinely good value.
Discount Calculation
Final price = Original × (1 - Discount/100) · Savings = Original × Discount/100 · Original from sale price = Sale price / (1 - Discount/100)
Multiple discounts are multiplicative, not additive: 20% then 10% off = 1 - (0.8 × 0.9) = 28% total (not 30%) · Markup vs discount: 50% markup means selling at 1.5x cost; 50% discount from that price = original cost only
Worked Example
₹8,000 mobile with 25% discount plus additional 10% bank offer
After 25%: ₹6,000 · After additional 10%: ₹5,400 · Total effective discount: 32.5% (not 35%) · Total saving: ₹2,600
Tips & Insights
- 1
Sale prices on e-commerce platforms often use inflated 'MRP' as the base - check if the product is available at the 'original' price elsewhere.
- 2
Successive discounts multiply, not add - a 50% off + 50% off is not free. It is 75% off (0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25 remaining).
- 3
Use the reverse discount calculator to find original price when you only know the sale price and the percentage off.
Why this matters for you
India's festival sale seasons generate ₹50,000+ crore in e-commerce alone. Most shoppers evaluate deals by the discount percentage without checking whether the base price was artificially inflated beforehand. A 70% discount from an inflated price may be worse value than a 30% discount from an honest price. The calculator gives you the math to evaluate any deal objectively.
