Discount Percentage Calculator – Find the % Off From Two Prices

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Switch the calculator to What % off is it? and type the original price and the sale price: it shows the percentage off and how much you save. The formula is (original − sale) ÷ original × 100, so a jacket going from $80 to $60 is 20 ÷ 80 = 25% off. It is handy for checking whether a "huge sale" really is one, or comparing a dollar-off coupon with a percentage one. If the second price is higher, the calculator shows how much the price went up instead.
