Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Good for sale tags, coupon checks, classroom worksheets and quote notes. Keep receipt rules and tax basis separate.

The percent-off discount is applied to the original price before optional tax is added.
The tax field is simple percentage arithmetic only and does not decide whether tax legally applies.
Percent off is capped at 100% because ordinary sale arithmetic cannot reduce the pre-tax price below zero.
Currency is not fixed; use the same currency for the original price, saving and final total.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep the original price beside the sale price. A “20% off” result cannot be checked later unless the printout or note also shows the base price, exclusions, tax basis and any coupon rules.

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	80.00
10.00%	8.00	72.00
20.00%	16.00	64.00
50.00%	40.00	40.00

Inputs

Original price: 80 money
Percent off: 20 %
Tax after discount: 0 % optional

Method

Amount saved = original price × percent off ÷ 100. Price after percent off = original price − amount saved. Optional tax total = price after percent off × (1 + tax percent ÷ 100).

For 20% off 80.00, calculate 80 × 20 ÷ 100 = 16.00 saved. Then subtract the saving: 80 − 16 = 64.00. If a 10% tax is applied after the discount, the optional total is 64 × 1.10 = 70.40.

Assumptions

The percent-off discount is applied to the original price before optional tax is added.
The tax field is simple percentage arithmetic only and does not decide whether tax legally applies.
Percent off is capped at 100% because ordinary sale arithmetic cannot reduce the pre-tax price below zero.
Currency is not fixed; use the same currency for the original price, saving and final total.
