What is a Double Discount?

A double discount refers to a situation where two separate discounts are applied to the original price of a product or service. The first discount is applied to the original price, and then the second discount is applied to the resulting price after the first discount. This method of applying discounts can lead to significant savings for consumers, but it can also be tricky to calculate accurately without the help of a specialized tool.

How to Use the Double Discount Calculator

Step 1: Enter the Original Price

Begin by inputting the original price of the item or service in the “Original Price ($)” field. This should be the full price before any discounts are applied.

Step 2: Input the First Discount

Enter the percentage of the first discount in the “First Discount (%)” field. This is typically the larger of the two discounts, but it doesn’t have to be.

Step 3: Input the Second Discount

Enter the percentage of the second discount in the “Second Discount (%)” field. Remember, this discount will be applied to the price after the first discount has been deducted.

Step 4: Click the Calculate Button

After entering all the required information, click the “Calculate” button to process your inputs.

Step 5: Review the Results

The calculator will display the final price after both discounts have been applied, the total amount saved, and the overall discount percentage. It will also show a breakdown of how the calculation was performed.
