Whether you’re figuring out how much less something costs or just curious about the savings, this tool was built to make discount calculations effortless.

How to take 5 percent off a price

To take 5 percent off a price, just multiply the original price by 0.05, then subtract that amount from the original price. Or directly multiply the original price by 0.95.

The formula is:

Final Price = Original Price × (1 – 0.05)

For example, if the original price is $80:
$80 × 0.95 = $76
So, 5% off $80 gives you $76.

In Excel, you can do the same with a formula like:
=A1 * (1 - 5%)
(Assuming the original price is in cell A1.)

Or even simpler:
=A1 * 0.95

If you prefer not to do the math yourself, you can use our free online 5% Discount Calculator. Just enter the original price and the discount percent (not limited to 5%—you can input any value), and the calculator will instantly show you how much you save and the final price. It’s a fast, user-friendly way to understand exactly how much less you’ll pay.

How to Calculate Any Percentage Discount Off a Price

To calculate any percentage discount off a price, use this formula:

Final Price = Original Price × (1 – Discount Percentage / 100)

Example:

If an item costs $200 and you want to apply a 20% discount:

• Convert 20% to decimal → 20 / 100 = 0.2

• Multiply: $200 × (1 – 0.2) = $200 × 0.8 = $160

So the final price after 20% off is $160.

You can also find the amount saved by:

Amount Saved = Original Price × (Discount Percentage / 100)

In this case: $200 × 0.2 = $40 saved

Alternatively,  you can use our Discount Calculator to do it for you automatically—just enter the price and the discount, and it instantly shows the result.
