STACKED MATH

❓ Is 20% off plus 10% off equal to 30% off?

No. Stacking a 20% discount and a 10% discount yields a 28% effective discount, not 30%. The second 10% reduction is calculated on the reduced 80% balance ($80 on a $100 item).

Double Discount Formula: Final Price = Original Price × (1 − d1) × (1 − d2)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a double discount? ▼
A double discount occurs when two percentage reductions are applied sequentially to a single item price, such as a 20% store sale stacked with a 10% coupon code.
How do I calculate two discounts in a row? ▼
Apply the first discount to the original price to get an intermediate price, then apply the second discount to that intermediate price. Alternatively, use our Multiple Discount Calculator.
Is 20% off plus 10% off equal to 30% off? ▼
No. The second discount is taken off the already reduced price, not the original list price. On a $100 item, 20% off leaves $80, and 10% off $80 saves $8, resulting in a $72 final price (28% total savings).
What is the effective discount of 20% plus 10%? ▼
The true effective discount rate for 20% off followed by 10% off is 28%.
How does successive discounting work? ▼
Successive discounting calculates each percentage drop sequentially on the remaining balance rather than adding percentages together.
What is the formula for two successive discounts? ▼
The double discount formula is: Final Price = Original Price × (1 − d1) × (1 − d2), where d1 and d2 are decimal discount rates. Effective Discount % = 100 × [ 1 − (1 − d1)(1 − d2) ].
What is 30% off followed by 20% off? ▼
On a $100 item: 30% off reduces it to $70, and 20% off $70 reduces it by $14 to $56. The effective discount is 44%.
What is 50% off followed by 20% off? ▼
On a $100 item: 50% off reduces it to $50, and 20% off $50 reduces it by $10 to $40. The effective discount is 60%.
