50 Percent Off Calculator

This page opens the discount calculator with 50% preset — the simplest deep discount there is: the sale price is exactly half, and your saving equals what you pay. A 200 item costs 100; a 59.90 item costs 29.95.

Half price is the anchor discount of clearance events, second-item-free promotions and outlet pricing. Even though the math is trivial, the calculator earns its keep with odd prices (what is half of 76.45?) and with verifying that a shelf label really matches 50% of the crossed-out price — 76.45 halves to 38.23, by the way.

The real power move is stacking: "extra 30% off final markdowns" on top of 50% gives 65% total, not 80%. Enter 50 in the main field and the extra percent below, and the calculator lays out the price after each step, the total saved and the honest effective discount — all locally in your browser.
