Check a sale offer without doing mental arithmetic. The calculator first removes the stated percentage from the original price, then optionally applies a tax or service rate to the discounted amount.
How to use it
- 1
Enter the original listed price before the promotion.
- 2
Enter the advertised discount percentage.
- 3
Add any tax or service percentage that is charged after the discount.
Formula and methodology
Discount = original price × discount rate ÷ 100. Sale price = original price − discount. Final total = sale price × (1 + additional rate ÷ 100).
Applies the displayed mathematical relationship directly to the values entered. Users should verify units and any institution-specific interpretation.
Worked calculation example
A PKR 8,000 item at 25% off saves PKR 2,000 and costs PKR 6,000 before any optional tax or service charge.
How to interpret your result
Use the final payable amount—not the advertised percentage—to compare offers that include tax, service charges or stacked promotions.
Input guide
Begin with the genuine pre-discount price.
Apply the stated discount to the correct base.
Add tax or service charge only where it applies after discount.
Scenario comparison
| Scenario | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| PKR 8,000 at 25% off | saves PKR 2,000 before extras. |
| Two successive 10% discounts | equals 19% off, not 20%. |
| Discount followed by tax | demonstrates why the checkout total can exceed the sale price. |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Adding stacked discount percentages directly.
- Comparing different pack sizes by total price alone.
- Ignoring delivery charges or a minimum-spend condition.
Check the merchant's terms, eligible items and checkout total before purchase.
What can affect the result?
Stacked offers
Two sequential discounts do not equal their percentages simply added together.
Price basis
Confirm whether the offer applies to the full item price or only selected components.
Extra charges
Delivery, service fees and taxes can reduce the effective saving.
Limits of this estimate
The calculator assumes one discount followed by one optional percentage charge and does not interpret store-specific offer conditions.
