How to calculate 90% off
To calculate 90% off any price, multiply the original price by 0.90 to get the discount amount, then subtract that from the original price. The shortcut: multiply by 0.10 to jump directly to the sale price. For example, 90% off $80 is $8.00 — and you save $72.00.
To do 90% off in your head: subtract from 100% to get 10%, then take that fraction of the price.
Watch out for stacked discounts. "90% off + extra 10% off" is not (90 + 10)% off — it's actually 91.0% off, because the second discount applies to the already-reduced price. This is also why "buy one, get one 90% off" is only a 45% discount on the pair, not 90% off each item.
For sellers: a 90% discount cuts deeply into gross margin. If you sell at a 90% off price while paying full cost on inventory, your margin shrinks faster than the discount percentage suggests. Promotional pricing at this depth usually only makes sense for clearance, customer acquisition, or seasonal turnover.
