How to calculate 15% off

To calculate 15% off any price, multiply the original price by 0.15 to get the discount amount, then subtract that from the original price. The shortcut: multiply by 0.85 to jump directly to the sale price. For example, 15% off $80 is $68.00 — and you save $12.00.

To do 15% off in your head: take 10% (move the decimal one place left), multiply by 1.5, then subtract from the original price.

Watch out for stacked discounts. "15% off + extra 10% off" is not (15 + 10)% off — it's actually 23.5% off, because the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. This is also why "buy one, get one 15% off" is only a 8% discount on the pair, not 15% off each item.

Is 15% off the same as a 15% coupon plus another discount?

No. Stacked discounts multiply, not add. 15% off plus an extra 10% off equals about 23.5% off total — not 25% 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).
