Discount Calculator

Understanding Discounts

A discount reduces the original price of a product or service. This calculator helps you understand how discounts affect the final price.

How Discounts Work

Discounts can be calculated in two ways:

• Percentage Discount: A percentage of the original price is deducted. For example, a 20% discount on an item that costs ₹1000 means ₹200 is deducted, making the final price ₹800.
• Fixed Amount Discount: A specific amount is deducted from the original price. For example, a ₹200 discount on an item that costs ₹1000 makes the final price ₹800.

Calculating Tax

When taxes are included:

1. The discount is applied first to get the discounted price.
2. Then tax is calculated on the discounted price.
3. The final price is the discounted price plus the tax amount.

For example, if a ₹1000 item has a 20% discount and 18% GST:

• Discounted price: ₹1000 - (₹1000 × 20%) = ₹800
• Tax amount: ₹800 × 18% = ₹144
• Final price: ₹800 + ₹144 = ₹944

Understanding Bulk Discounts

Bulk calculations help you figure out discounts on multiple items at once, useful for:

• Shopping carts with multiple products
• Retail price calculations
• Event or party budgeting
• Business purchases
