Holiday Discount Formula
Here’s how the calculator works:
Discount Amount = (Original Price * Discount Percentage) / 100
Price After Discount = Original Price – Discount Amount
Sales Tax Amount = (Price After Discount * Sales Tax Percentage) / 100
Final Price = Price After Discount + Sales Tax Amount
Example:
Let’s say you want to buy a sweater originally priced at $50 with a 25% holiday discount. Your local sales tax is 6%.
- Discount Amount: ($50 * 25) / 100 = $12.50
- Price After Discount: $50 – $12.50 = $37.50
- Sales Tax Amount: ($37.50 * 6) / 100 = $2.25
- Final Price: $37.50 + $2.25 = $39.75
