Whether you are shopping on Black Friday, browsing an end-of-season clearance, or comparing deals at different stores, this discount calculator shows you exactly what you will pay and how much you save. Choose from three modes depending on what you already know. Quick-select pills for common discount amounts let you compare savings in a single click.
Many retailers offer stacked discounts: an extra 20 percent off already reduced items. A common mistake is to add the two percentages together. When you take 20 percent off and then another 10 percent off, the true total discount is 28 percent, not 30 percent.

A 50% discount on $100 equals $50 in savings. You pay $50.
That is roughly 1 out of every 2 dollars returned to your pocket on a $100 purchase. Compared with a 25% discount (which would save only $25), a 50% discount saves you an extra $25. If the store doubled the offer to 90%, you would pay just $10 — a further $40 off. 50% markdowns are typically seen during clearance sales and end-of-season markdowns, and are especially common on clothing, footwear and mid-range gadgets.
