What is it?
This calculator determines the final out-of-pocket price of an item after applying a percentage discount and then adding sales tax. It also shows exactly how much money you save from the discount.
How to use
1. Enter the original sticker price of the item. 2. Enter the discount percentage (e.g., 20 for a 20% off sale). 3. Enter the applicable sales tax rate. The calculator shows the discount amount, price after discount, tax, final price, and your total savings.
Example scenario
A $199.99 jacket is on sale for 25% off, and your local sales tax is 8.25%. The discount saves you $50.00, bringing the price to $149.99. Tax adds $12.37, so the final price is $162.37.
Pro tip
Tax is calculated on the discounted price, not the original. This means a bigger discount saves you money on taxes too! When comparing deals, always compute the final after-tax price to see the true cost.
