How it works
Saving = price × discount ÷ 100. Sale price = price − saving. A 20% discount on R899 saves R179.80, so the sale price is R719.20.
Example
| Price | Discount | You pay | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| R899 | 20% | R719.20 | R179.80 |
Frequently asked questions
How is a discount calculated?
Multiply the price by the discount rate for the saving, then subtract. 20% off R899 saves R179.80.
How do I find the original price from a sale price?
Divide the sale price by (1 − discount rate). R719.20 at 20% off means R899 original.
Can discounts stack?
Usually they apply sequentially, not additively, two 10% discounts equal 19% off, not 20%.
Should VAT apply before or after discount?
On the discounted selling price. Confirm treatment with SARS or your accountant.
