Percent Off Calculator

Our percent off calculator helps you determine how much will you save during a sale, when the whole selection of merchandise is "X percent off!". Keep on reading - if you don't know how to figure out percentages, this calculator will surely save you a lot of trouble.

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:

1. Enter the original price into our percent off calculator. For example, a TV set might originally set you back $5000.
2. Determine the percentage discount - in our example store, everything is 75% off.
3. The sum that stays in your pocket - your savings - is simply these two values multiplied by each other: 75% * $5000 = 0.75 * $5000 = $3750.
4. The final price of the product on sale is the difference between the original price and savings: $5000 = $3750 = $1250.
5. 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.
