How to calculate 10% off

To calculate 10% off any price, multiply the original price by 0.10 to get the discount amount, then subtract that from the original price. The shortcut: multiply by 0.90 to jump directly to the sale price. For example, 10% off $80 is $72.00 — and you save $8.00.

10% off is the easiest discount to do in your head: just move the decimal point one place to the left to get the discount amount. $48.00 becomes $4.80 off, so the sale price is $43.20.

Watch out for stacked discounts. "10% off + extra 10% off" is not (10 + 10)% off — it's actually 19.0% off, because the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. This is also why "buy one, get one 10% off" is only a 5% discount on the pair, not 10% off each item.

Is 10% off the same as a 10% coupon plus another discount?

No. Stacked discounts multiply, not add. 10% off plus an extra 10% off equals about 19.0% off total — not 20% off. The second discount applies to the already-reduced price.

Does sales tax apply before or after the discount?

In most U.S. jurisdictions, sales tax is calculated on the post-discount price — the amount you actually pay. The exception is when a coupon is reimbursed by the manufacturer (rare in retail and mostly relevant in CPG categories like cereal coupons).
