Percent Off Calculator
Calculate the exact dollar discount and final checkout price for any percent-off sale or clearance markdown.
How It's Calculated
Formula
\text{Discount} = \text{Price} \times \frac{\text{Percent Off}}{100} \qquad \text{Final Price} = \text{Price} - \text{Discount}This calculator applies a straight percent-off markdown to a price: the discount is the price multiplied by the percentage off, and the final price is what's left after subtracting that discount. It's a pure markdown calculation with no sales tax applied — for a version that also factors in sales tax, see the Discount Calculator instead.
Worked Examples
$100 item, 25% off
- Discount: 100 × (25 / 100) = $25
- Final price: 100 − 25 = $75
$150 item, 100% off (free)
- Discount: 150 × (100 / 100) = $150
- Final price: 150 − 150 = $0
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include sales tax?
No. This calculator computes a pure markdown: price minus percent-off discount only. For a calculation that also applies a sales tax rate on top of the discounted price, use the Discount Calculator.
How is this different from the Discount Calculator?
Percent Off is a pure markdown: sticker price and percent off, nothing else. Discount Calculator additionally takes a sales tax rate and models the broader checkout workflow (discount, then tax on the discounted price).
What if I enter 0% off?
The discount amount is $0 and the final price equals the original price — no markdown is applied.
