Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently β change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Discount Percentage Calculator
Work out what percentage discount you are actually getting when a retailer advertises a dollar saving rather than a percentage off. Enter the original sticker price and the dollar amount you are saving (or have been told you will save), and the calculator returns the implied discount rate. Useful for comparing a "$20 off" deal against a "15% off" deal on differently priced items, for verifying that the discount you see at checkout matches what was advertised, and for spotting inflated "original price" claims that turn modest savings into impressive-sounding percentages.
Markup Calculator
Convert a cost plus a markup percentage into a selling price. Essential for retailers, wholesalers, and freelancers who price on a cost-plus basis and need to confirm both their selling price and the resulting margin.
