How do I calculate a discount?
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage and divide by 100. That is what you save. Take it off the original price to get what you pay.
Original priceAED 1,000.00
Saving (1,000 × 20 ÷ 100)AED 200.00
You payAED 800.00
How do I find the original price from a sale price?
Divide the sale price by (1 minus the discount as a decimal). If AED 800 is after 20% off: 800 ÷ 0.80 = AED 1,000.
Do not add 20% to 800. That gives 960, not 1,000, because the 20% was taken from the original price, not from the sale price.
Questions people ask
Is what I type stored or sent anywhere?
No. The sum runs in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
Does this include VAT?
No. It works on the price you type. If your price already includes VAT or you need to add it, use the VAT calculator.
What about two discounts one after the other?
They do not add up. 10% off then another 10% off is 19% off in total, not 20%. Apply them one at a time.
