How it works
The calculator uses plain JavaScript arithmetic. The sale price equals the original price times one minus the discount expressed as a decimal. Stacked and double-discount modes apply each percentage in turn so every subsequent discount lands on the already-reduced amount, which is why the effective percent off is always lower than the sum of the individual rates.

Frequently asked questions
- Is my data sent anywhere?
- All math runs in your browser. Our servers are not involved at any point.
- How is the sale price calculated?
- Sale price equals original price multiplied by one minus the discount expressed as a decimal. For a 25 percent discount on $80, that is 80 times 0.75, or $60.
- Can the calculator handle decimal percentages?
- Yes. Enter values like 12.5 or 7.99 percent and the calculator uses the full precision in the result.
- How is the tax-inclusive variant computed?
- The sale price is multiplied by one plus the tax rate. Sales tax applies to the discounted price in most jurisdictions, which is the behaviour shown.
- What if the discount is over 100 percent?
- The calculator floors the sale price at zero so the result remains meaningful even if the discount exceeds the original price.
