Calculate the final price after one or two percent discounts and sales tax, and see exactly how much you save.
| Input | Result |
|---|---|
| $80, 25% off | $60.00 · save $20.00 |
| $120, 30% + 10% off | $75.60 · save $44.40 (37% off, not 40%) |
| $59.99, 15% off + 8% tax | $55.07 out the door |
Each discount applies to the already-reduced price. 30% off leaves 70%; the second 10% comes off that 70%, leaving 63%, a combined 37% discount. Stores count on shoppers overestimating stacked deals.
An extra 25% off a 50%-off item gives 62.5% off total, not 75%. Compare the final dollar price with other stores rather than the stacked percentages.
After, in most US states sales tax is charged on the discounted price, so a discount also saves you the tax on the amount knocked off.
