Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate a percentage discount?▼
Multiply the original price by the discount percentage divided by 100 to find your total savings. Then subtract that savings from the original price to find the discounted sale price.
What does a "double discount" mean?▼
A double discount occurs when an additional discount is applied to an already reduced price. The second discount applies to the discounted subtotal, not the original sticker price.
Does a 50% discount plus an extra 20% discount equal 70% off?▼
No. A $100 item with 50% off costs $50. An extra 20% off $50 reduces the price by $10, making the final price $40. The true combined discount is 60%, not 70%.
Is sales tax calculated before or after the discount?▼
In standard retail transactions, sales tax or GST is calculated on the net discounted price paid by the customer, rather than the original pre-discount sticker price.
How does "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" (BOGO 50%) work?▼
If both items have identical prices, buying one and getting the second at 50% off equals an effective overall discount of 25% across the two items combined.
Is my calculation data saved on ToolMela?▼
No. All calculations run locally in your browser. ToolMela does not track, store, or monitor your price inputs.
