What is a Percentage Off Calculator?
A Percentage Off Calculator helps you determine the final price after applying a percentage-based discount to an original price. It's a quick way to see how much you'll pay and how much you'll save when shopping sales, using coupons, or planning a budget.
Use this calculator to enter the original price and the discount percentage to get an instant result. The calculator updates automatically as you change the inputs and provides a clear breakdown of the final price and savings.
This tool is especially useful during shopping seasons, sales events, or while using promotional offers. By utilizing our percentage off calculator, you can make informed decisions and never miss out on the best deals.
How it Works
The calculator computes the discount amount and subtracts it from the original price. Mathematically:
Final Price = Original Price × (1 − Discount / 100)Example: If an item costs $100 and the discount is 20%, the final price is:
Final Price = 100 × (1 − 20/100) = 100 × 0.8 = $80.00
How to Use the Percentage Off Calculator

Does the calculator round the result?
Yes. The final price and savings are rounded to two decimal places to match standard currency formatting.
Can I download the calculation?
Yes. Use the "Download PDF" option to save the inputs and results as a PDF for record-keeping or sharing.
