Discount formula
Savings = Price − Final price
Example: a ₹2,000 kurta at 30% off costs 2,000 × 0.70 = ₹1,400 and you save ₹600.
The "extra off" trick
Online sales and malls love offers like "Flat 50% + Extra 10% off". Many people think that means 60% off, but the extra discount is applied on the already-reduced price. ₹2,000 → 50% off = ₹1,000 → extra 10% off = ₹900. Total discount is 55%, not 60%. This calculator shows the effective discount so you can compare two offers honestly.
Discount vs cashback vs bank offer
- Instant discount – reduces the price immediately; best option.
- Cashback – comes later as wallet balance or statement credit, often with a maximum cap and conditions.
- Bank offer – e.g. 10% off up to ₹1,500 on a credit card; check the cap, because on a ₹50,000 phone it is only 3%.
- No-cost EMI – the interest is given as a discount, but processing fees and GST on interest may still apply.
Smart shopping tips
Compare the final price, not the percentage. Ek product par "70% off" ho sakta hai lekin MRP badha kar likha ho – price history check karein. Add delivery charges and convenience fees before deciding. Shopkeepers can also use this tool in reverse: if you want to give a customer a final price, try different discount percentages until the final price fits. For calculating profit margin or markup, use our percentage calculator, and to see the GST inside a price use the GST calculator.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do I calculate the price after a discount?
Multiply the original price by (100 − discount%) ÷ 100. ₹2,000 at 30% off = ₹1,400.
Is 50% + 10% the same as 60% off?
No. The extra 10% applies on the reduced price, so the total discount is 55%.
Discount percentage kaise nikale?
(MRP − sale price) ÷ MRP × 100. Jaise ₹1,000 ki cheez ₹750 mein mile to discount 25% hai.
How do I find the original price from the sale price?
Original price = Sale price ÷ (1 − discount%/100). ₹1,400 at 30% off came from ₹2,000.
Does this calculator include GST?
No. It works on whatever price you enter. In India, MRP already includes GST.
