How Double Discounts Work in Retail

When a store offers "20% off plus an extra 10% off", the discounts are applied sequentially rather than additively. An initial 20% discount is applied to the original price, and then the additional 10% is applied to the already-discounted subtotal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 20% off + 10% off the same as 30% off?
No. 20% off followed by 10% off results in an effective 28% discount, not 30%. On a $100 item, 20% off is $80, and 10% off $80 is $72 ($28 total savings).

How to Use the Discount Calculator

  1. Input the Original Price before discount.
  2. Enter the Discount Percentage (%) or fixed discount amount.
  3. Optionally add a Second Discount (stacked/compound sale) or Sales Tax Rate.
  4. Click Calculate Savings to view the final checkout price and total money saved.

Discount & Savings Formula

Savings Amount = Original Price × (Discount % / 100)
Final Sale Price = Original Price - Savings Amount
