Discount Calculator

Apply discounts fast and clean. See final price, savings, and sanity-check your promo so it doesn’t quietly eat your profit.

Promo guardrails
  • Know your floor: materials + labor + overhead first.
  • Percent off hits harder on high-ticket items than you think.
  • Fixed discounts are safer for premium pieces (ex: $25 off, not 20%).
Pro move: run your discount against your true cost, not your “it’s fine” estimate.

Discount Calculator

Enter values to compute discounted price.

How to use

  1. Enter your original price.
  2. Choose a discount type (percent or fixed) and enter the value.
  3. Review the final price and savings, then adjust until it’s profitable.

Pricing sanity checks

  • • If you’re discounting, make sure you’re not discounting below your cost floor.
  • • Consider rounding to psychological price points after discount (ex: $97 instead of $96.43).
  • • If you offer free shipping, treat it like a discount. It comes out of margin.

FAQs

What’s better: percent off or fixed off?

Percent off is great for clearing inventory. Fixed off is more predictable and protects your high-end pieces from giant margin hits.

Why does 20% off feel like a lot?

Because it is. If your margin is 30%, a 20% discount can cut your profit by more than half, depending on costs.

How do I keep discounts from wrecking profit?

Use a cost-based price calculator first (materials + labor + overhead), then discount from a price that already has margin baked in.
