Discount Calculator: Calculate Real Savings on Sales & Offers
Not All Discounts Are What They Seem
"Up to 70% off" usually means 70% on a few items nobody wants, and 10–20% on everything else. And a ₹2,000 item at "50% off" isn’t a ₹1,000 saving if the original price was artificially inflated before the sale.
Stacked Discounts: The Math Trap
"Extra 20% off on already 30% discounted price" does not equal 50% off.
| Original Price | First Discount (30%) | Second Discount (20%) | Final Price | Total Discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹2,000 | ₹1,400 | ₹1,120 | ₹1,120 | 44% (not 50%) |
Cashback vs Discount: Which Is Better?
- Discount: You pay less upfront. A 20% discount on ₹1,000 = you pay ₹800.
- Cashback: You pay full price, get money back later (often as credit). A 20% cashback on ₹1,000 = you pay ₹1,000 now, get ₹200 back (often capped and restricted).
- Bottom line: Discount is always better. Cashback is a marketing trick to ensure you buy again.
