1. What is the Discount Calculator?

The Discount Calculator helps you determine the final price after applying a percentage discount to an original price in British Pounds (GBP). It also shows the amount you save.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the discount formula:

Where:

• \( Original\ Price \) — The initial price before discount (GBP)
• \( Discount\ Percentage \) — The percentage discount being applied

Explanation: The formula calculates what percentage of the original price you'll pay (100% - discount%), then applies it to the original price.

3. Importance of Discount Calculation

Details: Accurate discount calculation helps with budgeting, comparing deals, and understanding true savings during sales and promotions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the original price in GBP and the discount percentage (0-100). Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I calculate multiple discounts?
A: This calculator applies a single discount. For multiple discounts, you would need to apply them sequentially.

Q2: How do I calculate the reverse (find original price from discounted price)?
A: Original Price = Discounted Price / (1 - Discount Percentage/100)

Q3: Does this work for price increases too?
A: Yes, by entering a negative discount percentage (though this calculator restricts to 0-100%).

Q4: How are partial pence handled?
A: Results are rounded to 2 decimal places (nearest pence) for GBP currency.

Q5: Can I use this for business pricing strategies?
A: Yes, this calculator is useful for determining sale prices and profit margins.
