Discount Calculator
Calculate discounted prices, savings amounts, and margin impact. Also reverse-calculate: input a sale price to find the discount percentage applied.
Discount Strategy Tips
- • Always know your floor (minimum margin)
- • Require something in return (longer term, case study)
- • Use time-limited offers to create urgency
- • Track discount frequency per rep
- • Consider value-adds instead of price cuts
Common Discount Ranges
FAQ
How do I calculate a discounted price?+
Discounted price = original price x (1 - discount% / 100). For example, a $100 item at 25% off = $100 x 0.75 = $75.
How do I find the discount percentage from a sale price?+
Discount % = ((original price - sale price) / original price) x 100. If an item was $80, now $60: ((80-60)/80) x 100 = 25%.
What is margin impact?+
Margin impact shows how a discount affects your profit. If you provide your cost, the calculator shows your new margin percentage after the discount is applied.
When should I offer discounts?+
Discounts should be strategic — to close deals near end-of-quarter, move stale inventory, or win competitive situations. Avoid habitual discounting as it erodes brand value and margins.
What discount is too much?+
Any discount that drops your margin below your cost of goods sold is too much. Generally, keep discounts under 20% for premium products and ensure you still cover variable costs.
