How to figure out percentages

Our percent off calculator is a special case of a percentage change; more specifically, it uses the percentage decrease formula. The process of calculating your discount is as follows:

Enter the original price into our percent off calculator. For example, a TV set might originally set you back $5000.
Determine the percentage discount - everything is 75% off in our example store.
The sum that stays in your pocket - your savings - is simply these two values multiplied by each other: 75% × $5000 = 0.75 × $5000 = $3750.
The final price of the product on sale is the difference between the original price and savings: $5000 - $3750 = $1250.
You can also use the percent off calculator to determine how much more you have to pay if the price of the product goes up! Simply type a negative value into the "off" box - our calculator will use the percentage increase formula.

🙋 We use percentages in almost all aspects of our life, not just finance. For example, we can also use percent to express the relative error between the observed and true values in any measurement. To learn how to do that, check our percent error calculator.

Psychological and strategic aspects of discounts

Discounts don’t just lower prices — they shape consumer perception. A percent-off deal leverages the anchoring effect, where the original price makes the discounted one seem more appealing, increasing the perceived value of the purchase.

For retailers, these deals are powerful psychological tools that can drive urgency, encourage impulse buying, and boost customer loyalty when used wisely. However, there’s a strategic balance to maintain. Frequent discounts can erode a brand’s perceived quality or train customers to wait for sales, potentially hurting long-term revenue. That’s why understanding how to figure out percentages is essential.
