Maximizing Savings with the Discount Calculator
The **Discount Calculator** is your essential **shopping tool** for quickly determining the true cost of an item on sale. Whether the markdown is $5\%$, $25\%$, or $75\%$, this tool instantly shows you both the **final price** and the total **savings amount**, helping you make smarter purchasing decisions and plan your **budget** effectively.
How to Calculate Discounted Price
The process involves two main steps, ensuring the calculation of the correct **sale price**:
- **Calculate Savings:** $\text{Savings Amount} = \text{Original Price} \times \frac{\text{Discount Rate}(\%)}{100}$
- **Calculate Discounted Price:** $\text{Discounted Price} = \text{Original Price} - \text{Savings Amount}$
If an optional **sales tax rate** is entered, the calculator applies the tax to the **discounted price** (not the original price) to determine the absolute **final price paid**.
The Importance of the Discount Percentage
Understanding the **discount percentage** helps shoppers evaluate the true value of a deal. Use this calculator to compare offers from different retailers and confirm the total price, especially when dealing with layered discounts or when the sale price is ambiguous.
