Discount formulas
Saving = price × discount ÷ 100. Final price = price × (1 − discount ÷ 100). For two discounts in a row, multiply the factors: final = price × (1 − d1 ÷ 100) × (1 − d2 ÷ 100).
| Original price | Discount | You save | Final price |
|---|---|---|---|
| $80.00 | 15% | $12.00 | $68.00 |
| $250.00 | 20% | $50.00 | $200.00 |
| $1,200.00 | 35% | $420.00 | $780.00 |
| $100.00 | 20% + 10% | $28.00 | $72.00 |
Discounts and your margin
A discount comes straight out of profit. If your margin is 40%, a 20% discount halves the profit on the sale: on a $100 item costing $60, profit falls from $40 to $20. You would need to sell twice as many units to earn the same. Run the numbers through the profit margin calculator before you set an offer.
