Discount calculator formulas
The calculator applies standard discount and tax formulas in sequence.Savings = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
Discounted Price = Original Price − Savings
Tax Amount = Discounted Price × (Tax % ÷ 100)
Final Payable = Discounted Price + Tax AmountExample:
Original Price = $100 Discount = 20% Tax = 10% Savings = $20.00 Discounted Price = $80.00 Tax Amount = $8.00 Final Payable = $88.00Tax is calculated on the discounted price, not the original price. This is the standard approach for most GST and VAT calculations.
