Percentage discount method
First calculate the discount amount, then subtract it from the original price.
Formula: sale price = original price − (original price × discount % ÷ 100)
Example: 25% off 200 gives a sale price of 150.

How to Find the Final Sale Price
This guide explains how to move from original price and discount information to the final price you actually pay.
Fixed discount method
If the discount is a money amount rather than a percentage, subtract it directly from the original price.
Formula: sale price = original price − fixed discount
Example: 200 with a fixed discount of 30 gives a sale price of 170.
What to compare next
- Check the percentage off if you want to compare different promotions
- Check unit price if two pack sizes are different
- Check VAT if tax is added or removed separately
