Discount calculator

One price and one or more discounts. The page returns the final amount, the rupee saving and the single effective percentage.

Enter them in the order they apply.

Short answer: ₹1,000 with 10% then 20% off ends at ₹720 — a saving of ₹280, which is an effective 28%. Adding the percentages would have promised ₹700, and ₹20 of that would never have existed.

The trap in stacked offers

"Extra 20% on the reduced price" is a smaller discount than it sounds, because the base has already shrunk. The table above shows the price after each step, which is the only way to see the real reduction when a sale advertises three discounts in a row.

Worked example

A ₹4,999 jacket at 40% off, with a further 15% coupon: 4,999 → ₹2,999.40 → ₹2,549.49. The effective discount is 49%, not 55%, and the saving is ₹2,449.51.

Discount questions

How do stacked discounts work?

Each percentage applies to the price left after the previous one. ₹1,000 with 10% off then 20% off is ₹900 and then ₹720, an effective 28% discount — not 30%. The page shows the price after every step so the sequence is visible.

Why is 10% + 20% not 30%?

Because the second discount is smaller in rupees: 20% of ₹900 is ₹180, while 20% of ₹1,000 would be ₹200. Stacking always adds up to less than the sum of the percentages, which is exactly why retailers like offering them.

How do I find the original price from a discounted one?

Divide by (1 − discount ÷ 100). A ₹720 price after 28% off implies an original of 720 ÷ 0.72 = ₹1,000. The GST and margin pages cover the tax-inclusive version of the same arithmetic.
