How to calculate 30% off

To calculate 30% off any price, multiply the original price by 0.30 to get the discount amount, then subtract that from the original price. The shortcut: multiply by 0.70 to jump directly to the sale price. For example, 30% off $80 is $56.00 — and you save $24.00.

To do 30% off in your head: take 10% (move the decimal one place left), multiply by 3.0, then subtract from the original price.

Watch out for stacked discounts. "30% off + extra 10% off" is not (30 + 10)% off — it's actually 37.0% off, because the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. This is also why "buy one, get one 30% off" is only a 15% discount on the pair, not 30% off each item.

For sellers: a 30% discount is meaningful but manageable on most product categories. If your normal gross margin is 50%, a 30% sale takes that down to 20%. Plan promotional cadence so the discount drives incremental volume rather than just rewarding customers who would have bought anyway.

Is 30% off the same as a 30% coupon plus another discount?

No. Stacked discounts multiply, not add. 30% off plus an extra 10% off equals about 37.0% off total — not 40% 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).
