How do I calculate a percentage discount?

Multiply the original price by the discount percentage, then divide by 100 to get the savings. Subtract savings from the original price to get the final price. Example: 20% off $50 → savings = $50 × 20 ÷ 100 = $10 → final price = $50 − $10 = $40.

How do I find the original price from a discounted price?

Use the "Find Original" mode. Divide the final price by (1 − discount/100). Example: paid $40 after 20% off → original = $40 ÷ 0.80 = $50.

What is the difference between discount and markup?

A discount reduces a selling price for the buyer. A markup adds profit margin on top of cost price for the seller. A 25% markup on a $100 cost gives a $125 selling price. A 25% discount on $125 gives $93.75 — these are not the same.

What is gross margin vs markup?

Markup is calculated on cost price; margin is calculated on selling price. A 25% markup = 20% margin. The tool shows both profit amount and margin % in the Markup mode.
