How Discount Calculation Works
Discount Amount & Sale PriceDiscount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
Sale Price = Original Price − Discount Amount
Example: ₹2,000 at 30% off → Save ₹600 → Pay ₹1,400
Sale Price = Original Price − Discount Amount
Example: ₹2,000 at 30% off → Save ₹600 → Pay ₹1,400
Reverse Discount — Find Original Price
If you know the sale price and the discount percentage, you can find the original price:
Reverse Discount FormulaOriginal Price = Sale Price ÷ (1 − Discount% ÷ 100)
Example: Sale price ₹1,400 with 30% discount → Original = 1400 ÷ 0.70 = ₹2,000
Example: Sale price ₹1,400 with 30% discount → Original = 1400 ÷ 0.70 = ₹2,000
💡 This is useful when a retailer shows only the discounted price and you want to verify what the original price was — or for VAT-inclusive pricing calculations.
