Formula Used
Calculation Formula
The final price is calculated using the following formula:
Final Price = (Original Price × (100 - Discount Percentage) / 100) × (100 + Sales Tax Percentage) / 100
Where:
- Original Price is the initial price of the item.
- Discount Percentage is the percentage discount applied to the original price.
- Sales Tax Percentage is the percentage of sales tax added to the discounted price.
This formula first applies the discount to the original price, then adds the sales tax to the discounted price to get the final price.
Worked Example
Let's say you want to buy an item that originally costs $100, and there's a 20% discount. The sales tax is 8%. Here's how to calculate the final price:
- Apply the 20% discount to the original price: $100 × (100 - 20) / 100 = $80.
- Add the 8% sales tax to the discounted price: $80 × (100 + 8) / 100 = $86.40.
The final price after applying the discount and sales tax is $86.40.
Example Breakdown
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Original Price | $100.00 |
| Discount (20%) | -$20.00 |
