70% Off Formula
The calculator uses one of three formulas depending on which mode you select.
Sale Price mode finds what you pay after a 70% discount.
Sale Price = Original Price × 0.30 Savings = Original Price × 0.70
With Tax/Coupon mode stacks an extra coupon on the discounted price, then adds sales tax.
Checkout Total = Original Price × 0.30 × (1 - Coupon%/100) × (1 + Tax%/100)
Original Price mode works backward from a known sale price.
Original Price = Sale Price / 0.30
- Original Price: the pre-discount list price
- Sale Price: the price after the 70% discount
- Coupon%: any extra percent-off coupon applied after the 70% off
- Tax%: sales tax rate applied to the discounted subtotal
- Savings: the dollar amount removed from the original price
A 70% discount means you pay 30% of the original. The calculator assumes the extra coupon stacks multiplicatively on the already-discounted price (which is how most retailers apply stacked codes), not on the original. Sales tax is applied last, after both discounts. All currency outputs are rounded to two decimals.
The Sale Price button is the default. Use it for a quick "what will I pay" answer. With Tax/Coupon adds fields for stacked coupons and tax so the result matches a real checkout. Original Price reverses the math when you only know the discounted price on the tag.

Worked Examples and FAQ
Example 1: Jacket priced at $89. Sale price is 89 × 0.30 = $26.70. You save $62.30.
Example 2: $120 item with a 10% loyalty coupon and 7.25% tax. After 70% off: 120 × 0.30 = $36.00. After coupon: 36.00 × 0.90 = $32.40. With tax: 32.40 × 1.0725 = $34.75.
Example 3: Tag reads $14.10 after 70% off. What was original? 14.10 / 0.30 = $47.00.
Is 70% off the same as 1/3 of the price? Close but not exact. 70% off leaves you paying 30% (0.30). One-third would be about 33.33%, which is a 66.67% discount.
Does a 10% coupon on top of 70% off equal 80% off? No. Stacked discounts multiply, they do not add. 70% then 10% gives an effective discount of 73%, not 80%.
How do I calculate 70% off in my head? Move the decimal one place left to get 10% of the price, multiply by 3 to get the sale price. For $80: 10% is $8, times 3 is $24.
Does tax apply before or after the discount? Sales tax is calculated on the discounted price you actually pay, not the original list price. The calculator follows this order.
