Original Price Calculator

Use our Original Price Calculator to find what an item cost before a discount, what it costs after one, or how much off a price really is — with the amount you save.

The original price is the sale price divided by what’s left after the discount. For example, an item on sale for $50 at 25% off was originally $50 ÷ 0.75 = $66.67, so you save $16.67. The other way round, $80 at 25% off is $60, and a price that drops from $80 to $60 is 25% off.

Add an extra discount for deals like “an extra 10% at the till”: it comes off the already reduced price, so 25% and then 10% is 32.5% off in all, not 35% — $80 becomes $60 and then $54.

Prices here are before sales tax and fees, and stores round each discount to the cent, so a receipt can differ by a cent; treat the results as an estimate. A big “original” price isn’t always what an item usually sells for, so compare final prices too. To see how prices have risen over time, use our Reverse Inflation Calculator; to check whether a product got smaller for the same price, our Shrinkflation Calculator.
