Let’s say you own a clothing boutique and you normally sell a particular dress for $75. However, you want to offer a 30% discount on that dress for an upcoming sales event.
To calculate the discounted sale price enter the following:
- Original selling price: $75
- Markdown percent: 30%
The calculator will then do the math for you, deducting 30% off the original $75 price.
The discounted sale price it provides is $57.69 – check
So for your sales event, you could advertise and sell that $75 dress for the marked down price of $57.69, giving your customers a nice 30% discount.
It’s as easy as just inputting the two values – the retail price and percentage discount. The calculator handles all the pricing math behind the scenes.
This takes all the guesswork and mental arithmetic out of marking down prices for sales and promotions. With just a couple clicks, you have an accurate discounted price you can pass along to customers.
Whether it’s a dress for 30% off, a sweater at 40% off, or offering a bulk discount like 15% off a customer’s total purchase, the markdown calculator quickly gives you the sale pricing you need.
