Formula used

Discount amount = original price × discount percent ÷ 100. Sale price = original price − discount amount. Optional tax total = sale price × (1 + tax percent ÷ 100).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Simple discount arithmetic. Receipt rules, exclusions, shipping and local taxes can change the final amount due.

The discount percentage is applied to the original price before optional tax is added.
The optional tax field is simple percentage arithmetic only; it does not decide whether tax legally applies.
Discounts above 100% are capped by the input field because a normal retail discount cannot reduce the price below zero.
Currency symbols are not fixed because the arithmetic works the same for dollars, pounds, euros or any other decimal currency.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: compare discounts on the same base price. “25% off then tax” and “tax included then 25% off” can look similar but are not always the same receipt story, especially when coupons exclude fees, shipping or already-discounted items.

What-if check

Discount-rate sensitivity

The same original price under several discount rates. This helps check whether a coupon, tag or invoice is using the percentage you expect.

Discount	Amount saved	Sale price
0.00%	0.00	120.00
10.00%	12.00	108.00
25.00%	30.00	90.00
50.00%	60.00	60.00

Inputs

Original price: 120 money
Discount: 25 %
Tax after discount: 0 % optional

Method

Discount amount = original price × discount percent ÷ 100. Sale price = original price − discount amount. Optional tax total = sale price × (1 + tax percent ÷ 100).

Original price 120.00 with a 25% discount: 120 × 25 ÷ 100 = 30.00 saved. Sale price = 120 − 30 = 90.00. With 10% tax after discount, total = 90 × 1.10 = 99.00.

Assumptions

The discount percentage is applied to the original price before optional tax is added.
The optional tax field is simple percentage arithmetic only; it does not decide whether tax legally applies.
Discounts above 100% are capped by the input field because a normal retail discount cannot reduce the price below zero.
Currency symbols are not fixed because the arithmetic works the same for dollars, pounds, euros or any other decimal currency.
