Percent off formulas used here
Stacked discounts
After main discount: `price - (price × main%)`. Extra coupon: subtract `afterBase × extra%`. Total percent off = `(original - discountedSubtotal) / original`.
Sales tax and effective discount
Tax = `discountedSubtotal × tax%`. Final price = `discountedSubtotal + tax`. Effective discount after tax = `(original - final) / original`.
Accuracy notes and common mistakes
Discounts compound, not add
Two 20% discounts equal 36% off, not 40%. The calculator compounds each percent off to show the true total percent off.
Tax is applied after discounts
Sales tax uses the discounted subtotal. This increases your effective discount after tax and aligns with most checkout systems.
Keep inputs realistic
We enforce 0–100% ranges for discounts and non-negative tax to avoid negative subtotals or misleading results.
Rounding may differ by store
Some stores round at item or line level. Our percent off calculator rounds to cents on totals; minor penny differences can occur versus certain POS systems.
Tips to use this percent off calculator for better savings
Stack wisely
Percent-off offers compound. Two 20% discounts are not 40% off — they result in 36% off overall. The calculator shows the effective discount for you.
Watch the tax
Better discounts shrink your taxable subtotal. Enter your local tax rate to see the true sale price and avoid surprises at checkout.
Check exclusions
Some coupons exclude taxes, shipping, or certain products. Use the percent off calculator with only the eligible parts of your order for accurate results.
