Discount Calculator
Find the final price after a discount and how much you save.
About the Discount Calculator
Discounts are everywhere — seasonal sales, Eid and Independence Day promotions, clearance racks and online marketplace vouchers — but a percentage discount is only meaningful when you know the actual final price. This discount calculator instantly shows both how much you save and what you pay, so you can tell a genuine bargain from clever marketing.
Retailers in Pakistan often advertise 'up to 50% off' when only a handful of items carry that discount. Applying the calculator to the specific price you are actually buying is the only reliable way to compare. It also helps with the common practice of raising prices before a sale: check the original price against what the same item cost a month ago.
The calculation is straightforward: the discount amount equals the original price multiplied by the discount percentage, and the final price is the original minus the discount. What surprises many shoppers is how quickly percentages add up on big-ticket items — a 25% discount on a Rs. 200,000 refrigerator is Rs. 50,000, far more than the same percentage on daily groceries.
Use this tool in reverse when negotiating: if a shopkeeper offers a flat 'Rs. 5,000 off', divide the discount by the price to see the equivalent percentage, and compare it with another store's percentage offer to decide which is genuinely cheaper.
For businesses, the calculator doubles as a quick margin checker — ensuring a '20% off' promotion still leaves enough profit after cost of goods. Enter your cost price and selling price to sanity-check whether the discounted price covers your costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a discount percentage?
Divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, a Rs. 500 discount on a Rs. 5,000 item is a 10% discount.
How do I calculate a discount percentage myself?
Divide the discount amount by the original price and multiply by 100. For example, Rs. 2,000 off a Rs. 10,000 item is (2000 ÷ 10000) × 100 = 20%.
Is a bigger percentage always a better deal?
Not necessarily — a 30% discount on an overpriced item can be worse than a 10% discount on a fairly priced one. Always compare the final price after discount, not the percentage alone.
What is a 'buy one get one free' in percentage terms?
Buy-one-get-one-free on a single item is equivalent to a 50% discount on the total of two items. 'Buy two get one free' equals about 33% off each item. This calculator helps convert such offers into a comparable percentage.
