How to work out a discount
- Enter the original price.
- Pick a common discount, drag the slider, or type any percentage in the box, such as 33.3.
- If there’s a second discount on top, such as an extra 10% off at the till, type it in Extra % off.
- Read the sale price, how much you save and the combined discount.

Before you buy
A big percentage is only a good deal if the starting price was fair. Some shops raise prices shortly before a sale, so compare with other stores or a price history tool. And remember that sales tax, where it applies, is usually added to the discounted price.
