Formula:
Final Price = Original - (Original × Discount% / 100)
Example:
Product: ₹1,000
Discount: 20%
Calculation:
Discount Amount = ₹1,000 × 0.20 = ₹200
Final Price = ₹1,000 - ₹200 = ₹800
Formula:
Final = Original × (1-D1/100) × (1-D2/100)
Example:
Product: ₹1,000
Discounts: 30% + 20%
Step 1: ₹1,000 × 0.70 = ₹700
Step 2: ₹700 × 0.80 = ₹560
Final Price = ₹560 (44% off, not 50%!)
Formula:
Original = Final / (1 - Discount% / 100)
Example:
Final Price: ₹800
Discount: 20%
Calculation:
Original = ₹800 / 0.80 = ₹1,000
MRP was ₹1,000
Formula:
Discount% = ((Original - Final) / Original) × 100
Example:
Original: ₹2,000
Final: ₹1,400
Calculation:
Discount% = (₹600 / ₹2,000) × 100
= 30% OFF
Many people think: 30% + 20% = 50% OFF
Product: ₹1,000
If 50% off (wrong assumption):
Pay: ₹500
Discounts apply SEQUENTIALLY, one after another
Product: ₹1,000
Step 1: 30% off → ₹700
Step 2: 20% off ₹700 → ₹560
Pay: ₹560 (44% effective discount)
| Discounts | If Added (Wrong) | Actual Stacked | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30% + 20% | 50% (₹500) | 44% (₹560) | +₹60 more |
| 40% + 10% | 50% (₹500) | 46% (₹540) | +₹40 more |
| 50% + 20% | 70% (₹300) | 60% (₹400) | +₹100 more |
💡 Key Takeaway: Always calculate stacked discounts properly. You pay more than you think when discounts are "added" in your mind!

Discount Calculation Formula: Final Price = Original Price - (Original Price × Discount% / 100). OR Final Price = Original Price × (1 - Discount% / 100). Step-by-Step Process: Note the original/MRP price. Check the discount percentage. Multiply price by discount% and divide by 100 (discount amount). Subtract discount amount from original price. Example 1 - Simple Discount: Product: ₹1,000. Discount: 20%. Discount Amount: (₹1,000 × 20) / 100 = ₹200. Final Price: ₹1,000 - ₹200 = ₹800. You Save: ₹200. Example 2 - Higher Discount: Product: ₹2,500. Discount: 40%. Discount Amount: (₹2,500 × 40) / 100 = ₹1,000. Final Price: ₹2,500 - ₹1,000 = ₹1,500. You Save: ₹1,000 (₹1,000 saved!). Quick Mental Math Tricks: 10% = Move decimal one place left (₹500 → ₹50). 20% = Double of 10% (₹50 × 2 = ₹100). 50% = Half the price (₹1,000 / 2 = ₹500). 25% = Quarter of price (₹1,000 / 4 = ₹250). Real Shopping Example: Shoes MRP: ₹3,000. "30% OFF" tag. Discount: (₹3,000 × 30) / 100 = ₹900. Pay: ₹3,000 - ₹900 = ₹2,100. Savings: ₹900.
Multiple/Stacked Discounts are Applied SEQUENTIALLY (Not Added!): Common Mistake: 30% + 20% ≠ 50% OFF! They apply one after another, not together. Correct Method: Apply first discount → Get new price → Apply second discount on that. Formula: Final = Original × (1 - D1/100) × (1 - D2/100) × ... Real Example - 30% + 20% Discount: Product: ₹1,000. First Discount: 30% off. After 30%: ₹1,000 × (1 - 0.30) = ₹1,000 × 0.70 = ₹700. Second Discount: 20% off on ₹700 (NOT on ₹1,000!). After 20%: ₹700 × (1 - 0.20) = ₹700 × 0.80 = ₹560. Final Price: ₹560. Total Saved: ₹1,000 - ₹560 = ₹440 (44% effective discount, NOT 50%!). Why Not 50%? If added: 30% + 20% = 50% off → Pay ₹500. Actually pay: ₹560 (₹60 more than expected!). Festival Sale Example - Triple Discount: Laptop: ₹60,000. Discounts: 15% + 10% + 5%. Step 1 (15%): ₹60,000 × 0.85 = ₹51,000. Step 2 (10%): ₹51,000 × 0.90 = ₹45,900. Step 3 (5%): ₹45,900 × 0.95 = ₹43,605. Final: ₹43,605 (27.325% effective, not 30%!). Saved: ₹16,395. Quick Formula for Effective Discount: Effective% = [1 - (1-D1/100)(1-D2/100)(1-D3/100)] × 100. Example: [1 - (0.70 × 0.80)] × 100 = 44%. Pro Tip: Single 50% discount is BETTER than 30%+20%! Always check final price, not just percentages. Retailers use multiple discounts to sound bigger!
Flat vs Percentage Discount - Complete Comparison: Flat Discount (₹X off): Fixed amount off regardless of price. Example: ₹500 off on any product. Better for: LOWER-priced items. Percentage Discount (X% off): Depends on product price. Example: 20% off. Better for: HIGHER-priced items. Break-Even Point Calculation: Find where both are equal. Formula: Flat Amount = (Price × Percentage) / 100. Rearranged: Price = (Flat Amount × 100) / Percentage. Real Examples: Case 1 - ₹500 flat vs 20%: ₹2,000 item: Flat = ₹500 (25% off) - BETTER! 20% = ₹400 - Worse. ₹2,500 item: Both equal (₹500 = 20% of ₹2,500). ₹3,000 item: Flat = ₹500 (16.7%) - Worse. 20% = ₹600 - BETTER! Break-even: ₹2,500. Case 2 - ₹1,000 flat vs 30%: ₹3,000 item: Flat = ₹1,000 (33.3%) - BETTER! 30% = ₹900 - Worse. ₹3,333 item: Both equal (₹1,000 = 30% of ₹3,333). ₹4,000 item: Flat = ₹1,000 (25%) - Worse. 30% = ₹1,200 - BETTER! Break-even: ₹3,333. Shopping Strategy: Low-price items (< break-even): Choose flat discount. High-price items (> break-even): Choose percentage discount. At break-even: Both are same, pick any. Common Festival Offers: "Flat ₹500 off on ₹2000+": Good for ₹2000-2500 range (20-25% off). "30% off (max ₹1500)": Cap limits benefit on expensive items. "20% off OR ₹200 off, whichever higher": Smart - auto picks better! Pro Calculator Trick: Calculate both and compare: Flat: Price - ₹X. Percentage: Price × (1 - X/100). Choose lower final price = more savings!
Reverse Discount Calculator - Find Original Price: Formula: Original Price = Final Price / (1 - Discount% / 100). OR: Original Price = (Final Price × 100) / (100 - Discount%). Step-by-Step Method: Note the sale/final price (what you pay). Check discount percentage given. Use reverse formula above. Example 1 - Basic Reverse: Final Price: ₹800. Discount: 20%. Original = ₹800 / (1 - 0.20) = ₹800 / 0.80 = ₹1,000. MRP was ₹1,000, saved ₹200. Example 2 - Higher Discount: Final Price: ₹3,500. Discount: 30%. Original = ₹3,500 / (1 - 0.30) = ₹3,500 / 0.70 = ₹5,000. MRP was ₹5,000, saved ₹1,500. Example 3 - Verify: Final: ₹2,400, Discount: 40%. Original = ₹2,400 / 0.60 = ₹4,000. Verify: 40% of ₹4,000 = ₹1,600. ₹4,000 - ₹1,600 = ₹2,400 ✓ Correct! Real Shopping Use Cases: Found product on sale at ₹1,200 with "25% OFF" tag. What was MRP? Original = ₹1,200 / 0.75 = ₹1,600. Restaurant bill ₹850 after 15% discount. What was original? Original = ₹850 / 0.85 = ₹1,000. Bought shirt for ₹700 in 30% sale. Original MRP? Original = ₹700 / 0.70 = ₹1,000. Reverse to Find Discount %: If you know both original and final: Discount% = ((Original - Final) / Original) × 100. Example: MRP ₹2,000, Paid ₹1,400. Discount% = ((₹2,000 - ₹1,400) / ₹2,000) × 100 = 30%. Common Scenarios: Check if discount claim is true: Seller says "40% off, now ₹900". Calculate: ₹900 / 0.60 = ₹1,500 should be MRP. If tag shows ₹1,200 MRP - FAKE discount! Compare multiple offers: Product A: ₹800 at 20% off → Original ₹1,000. Product B: ₹850 at 15% off → Original ₹1,000. Both have same MRP, A is better deal!

Fake Discount Detection - Shop Smart, Save Real: 1. Inflated MRP Trap: Scam: Show ₹5,000 MRP, "50% off" = ₹2,500. Reality: Product normally sells for ₹2,200-2,500. How to Spot: Check price history (Google the product + "price history"). Compare across 3-4 websites. Search product name + review for actual market price. Example: Seller claims ₹10,000 MRP, 60% off = ₹4,000. Check: Product sold at ₹4,200 last month = Barely any real discount! 2. Minimum Purchase Trap: Offer: "₹500 off on ₹2000+". Reality: You buy ₹2,050 worth (₹50 extra unnecessary). Math: Saved ₹500 but spent ₹50 extra = Net ₹450 savings (not ₹500). Smart Move: Buy only if you needed ₹2000+ anyway. Don't buy extra just to hit minimum. 3. Limited Time Pressure: Tactic: "Sale ends in 2 hours! Only 3 left!". Reality: Same sale repeats next week. Often fake countdown timers. How to Handle: Don't panic buy. Check seller history (if always on sale, not urgent). Compare prices calmly. 4. Cashback vs Discount: Offer: 20% cashback or 15% instant discount. Trap: Cashback = You pay full, get back later (maybe). Instant discount = Immediate savings. Math: ₹1,000 product: 20% cashback = Pay ₹1,000, get ₹200 back (in 30-90 days). 15% instant = Pay ₹850 now. Cashback Risks: Expires if not used in time. Locked in wallet (can use only on that site). Minimum reuse amount restrictions. Instant discount = Better (cash in hand). 5. Combo/Bundle Trap: Offer: "Buy 3 at 50% off!". Reality: You need only 1, buying 2 extra wastes money. Math: ₹1,000 each × 3 = ₹3,000. With 50% = Pay ₹1,500. But bought 2 unnecessary items = Lost ₹1,000 actual money. Smart Move: Buy combo only if you need all items. Calculate per-unit price and compare. 6. Expired/Damaged Stock: Scam: Heavy discount on near-expiry or damaged goods. Example: Food items at 70% off (expire in 1 week). Clothes with defects marked "Final Sale - No Return". How to Avoid: Check expiry dates on discounted food/medicine. Inspect electronics for defects before buying. Read return policy (no return = red flag). 7. Credit Card EMI Trap: Offer: "No cost EMI available!". Reality: Interest is built into price (hidden markup). Math: ₹20,000 product: Cash price = ₹18,000 (negotiable). "No cost EMI" = ₹20,000 / 6 months. You paid ₹2,000 extra for "convenience". Smart Move: Always negotiate cash price first. Calculate total EMI amount vs cash (usually EMI more expensive). 8. Compare Before You Buy: Use: Google Shopping, PriceHistory apps. Check: Same product on Amazon, Flipkart, offline stores. Compare: Total cost (including delivery, taxes). Example: Amazon: ₹5,000 + ₹100 delivery = ₹5,100. Flipkart: ₹5,200 + Free delivery = ₹5,200. Local Store: ₹4,800 cash (no delivery wait). Local store wins! 9. Review Filtering: Check: Sort by "Recent" and "Verified Purchase" only. Ignore: 5-star reviews with no details (likely fake). Look for: 3-4 star honest reviews mentioning cons. Red Flag: Only 5-star or only 1-star reviews (manipulated). 10. Annual Shopping Rule: Plan: Big purchases during festival sales (genuine 30-50% off). Avoid: Buying expensive items in non-sale months. Track: Wishlist items and buy during sales. Save: 40-60% annually by timing purchases right. Final Checklist Before Buying: ✓ Check price history (is discount real?). ✓ Compare 3-4 websites/stores. ✓ Read return policy (no return = risky). ✓ Check reviews (recent & verified). ✓ Calculate true cost (discount + delivery + taxes). ✓ Do I really need this? (avoid impulse). ✓ Can I get better deal later? (patience saves money). Smart Shopping = Real Savings!
