Common Types of Discounts
Percentage Discounts
The most common type of discount, where a percentage of the original price is reduced. For example, a 20% discount on a $100 item results in a $20 reduction, making the final price $80.
Fixed Amount Discounts
A specific dollar amount is subtracted from the original price. For example, a $15 discount on a $100 item makes the final price $85.
Buy One Get One (BOGO)
When you buy one item at full price, you get a second item for free or at a reduced price. This effectively creates a 50% discount when buying two identical items.
Volume Discounts
Discounts that increase as you buy more units. For example, 10% off when buying 2-5 items, 15% off when buying 6-10 items, and 20% off when buying 11 or more items.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a discount percentage?
To calculate a discount percentage, divide the discount amount by the original price, then multiply by 100. For example, if you save $20 on a $100 item, the discount percentage is (20 ÷ 100) × 100 = 20%.
What's the difference between discount by percentage and by amount?
When calculating by percentage, you specify what percentage of the original price is being discounted (e.g., 25% off). When calculating by amount, you specify the exact dollar amount being deducted from the original price (e.g., $15 off).
How do I calculate the final price after multiple discounts?
For multiple percentage discounts, you can't simply add the percentages. Instead, apply them sequentially. For example, if an item has a 20% discount followed by an additional 10% discount, first calculate the price after the 20% discount, then apply the 10% discount to that amount. Our calculator can handle these calculations for you.
Is a bigger discount percentage always the better deal?
Not necessarily. What matters is the final price, not just the discount percentage. A 50% discount on a high-priced item might still result in a higher final price than a 30% discount on a lower-priced alternative. Always compare final prices when making purchasing decisions.
