The discounted price formula helps you calculate the final price after a discount. It is useful when you know the original price and the discount percentage, and you want to know how much you will actually pay.
Use the calculator to check your own numbers, then read the guide for formulas, examples, and common mistakes.
What Is Discounted Price?
Discounted price is the final price after the discount has been applied.
It is also called sale price, final price, or price after discount.
For example, if an item costs 100 and has 30% off, the discounted price is 70.
Discounted Price Formula
The discounted price formula is: discounted price = original price × (1 - discount percentage ÷ 100).
This formula uses the remaining percentage after the discount.
If the discount is 30%, the remaining percentage is 70%, so the price is multiplied by 0.70.
Step-by-Step Example
Suppose the original price is 240 and the discount is 15%.
The remaining percentage is 100% - 15%, which equals 85%.
Discounted price = 240 × 0.85 = 204.
Two-Step Method
You can also calculate discounted price in two steps.
First, calculate the discount amount. Then subtract that discount amount from the original price.
For the discount amount calculation, read Discount Amount Formula.
One-Step vs Two-Step Calculation
The one-step formula is faster when you only need the final price.
The two-step method is better when you also want to know the exact money saved.
Both methods give the same final discounted price when the same numbers are used.
Discounted Price Example With 25% Off
Suppose an item costs 80 and has 25% off.
The remaining percentage is 75%.
Discounted price = 80 × 0.75 = 60.
Discounted Price and Percentage Off
Percentage off tells you how much of the original price is removed.
Discounted price tells you what remains after that reduction.
For the difference, read Discount vs Percentage Off.
Discounted Price and Double Discounts
A double discount applies two discounts one after another.
In that case, calculate the first discounted price, then apply the second discount to the new price.
For that method, read How to Calculate Double Discount.
