How to use

  1. Enter the original price.
  2. Enter the discount percentage.
  3. Optionally enter your cost per unit to check profit.

Worked example

An item priced TZS 45,000 with a 15% discount: saving = TZS 6,750, final price = TZS 38,250. If it cost you TZS 30,000, profit after discount is TZS 8,250.

How it works

Saving = Price × Discount ÷ 100. Final price = Price − Saving. Profit after discount = Final price − Cost.

Limitations

Two discounts in a row (for example 10% then 10%) are not the same as 20%. Apply them one at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Is 10% + 10% the same as 20% off?

No. 10% then another 10% equals 19% off the original price.

Does this include VAT?

It uses the price you enter. If your price includes VAT, the result does too.
