Discount Calculator

Multiply the original price by the discount rate divided by 100, then subtract that from the original. A 25% discount on €80 saves €20 and the sale price is €60. The % off → sale price tab handles it in one step.

Take the original minus what you paid to get the saving, divide by the original, multiply by 100. €200 down to €140 is a €60 saving — 60/200 × 100 = 30%. Use the What % off? tab to skip the arithmetic.

Yes. Since 28 May 2022 the Omnibus Directive (EU 2019/2161) requires any price-reduction announcement to show the lowest price the trader applied during at least the previous 30 days — so a '€100 was €200' headline must reflect a genuine prior price, not a rate that was raised just before the sale. Member states implement this with their own enforcement, but the 30-day rule is EU-wide. The calculator computes the maths; verifying the 'was' price is genuine is your retailer's obligation.

No. '20% off plus an extra 10% off' is not 30% off — it's 20% off the original, then 10% off the discounted price, which works out to 28% off in total. Each discount applies to the running total, so stacking always gives less saving than the sum of the rates.

EU retail prices are typically displayed VAT-inclusive (gross), so the percentage discount applies to whatever's on the tag. For B2B quotes shown net (excluding VAT), apply the discount on the net first, then add VAT to the discounted net. The VAT calculator covers either direction once you've worked out the discounted price here.
