What this tool does
Calculate a single percentage discount, discount amount or sale-price reduction. Percentage mode uses savings = original price × discount/100 and final price = original − savings. Sale-price mode uses (original − sale)/original × 100. Amount mode subtracts the entered discount amount. Money results round to two decimals.
