Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate a discount?
To calculate a discount: 1) Multiply the original price by the discount percentage, 2) Divide by 100 to get the discount amount, 3) Subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the final price. For example, for a 20% discount on ₹1000: (1000 × 20) ÷ 100 = ₹200 discount, so final price is ₹800.
How do multiple discounts work?
Multiple discounts are applied sequentially, not added together. For example, if you have a 20% discount followed by a 10% discount on ₹1000: First 20% off reduces it to ₹800, then 10% off ₹800 gives ₹720. This is different from a single 30% discount, which would give ₹700.
What is bulk discount?
A bulk discount is a price reduction offered when purchasing multiple items. The discount is typically calculated per item but applies to the entire purchase. For example, if items cost ₹100 each with a 10% bulk discount, each item costs ₹90, and buying 10 items would cost ₹900 instead of ₹1000.
How do I calculate savings percentage?
To calculate savings percentage: 1) Find the discount amount (original price - final price), 2) Divide by the original price, 3) Multiply by 100. For example, if an item's price is reduced from ₹500 to ₹400: ((500 - 400) ÷ 500) × 100 = 20% savings.
What's the difference between discount and savings?
While related, discount refers to the percentage taken off, while savings is the actual amount of money you save. For example, a 25% discount on a ₹1000 item means you save ₹250. The discount is 25%, and your savings are ₹250.
When should I use the bulk discount calculator?
Use the bulk discount calculator when purchasing multiple items with a volume discount. It's useful for businesses buying inventory, event planners ordering supplies, or anyone making large quantity purchases where a discount applies to the entire order.
