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

  1. Discount: 100 × (25 / 100) = $25
  2. Final price: 100 − 25 = $75

$150 item, 100% off (free)

  1. Discount: 150 × (100 / 100) = $150
  2. 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.
