Discount Calculator

Calculate sale prices, net savings, and successive stacked discounts (e.g. 50% + 20% off) instantly. Determine true discount percentages from MRP to checkout price.

Retail promotional sales frequently employ 'Double Discount' phrasing (such as 'Flat 40% Off + Extra 20% Off'). Because consecutive discounts compound multiplicatively rather than additively, 40% + 20% yields a net 52% reduction, not 60%.

Retail Successive Discount Multiplier Rules

50% + 20% Off = 60% Net Discount

Successive discounts apply to the diminishing balance: $Net \, Price = MRP \times (1 - d_1) \times (1 - d_2)$. On a ₹1,000 item, '50% + 20%' yields ₹400 final price (saving ₹600 or 60%), never 70%.
