Discount calculator
"50% off" doesn't mean you saved 50%. If you bought something you wouldn't have bought at full price, you didn't save money — you spent money. The "original price" is often fictional anyway. The FTC has sued retailers for fake markups that exist solely to make discounts look impressive. A $100 jacket "on sale" for $50 may never have sold at $100.
Good to know
Stacked discounts don't add up simply. 20% off plus 15% off isn't 35% off. If you take 20% off first ($100 → $80), then 15% off that ($80 → $68), the total discount is 32%, not 35%. The order usually doesn't matter mathematically, but retailers sometimes apply discounts to base price separately — read the terms.
"Up to 60% off" means almost nothing. One item might be 60% off. Most are 15-20% off. "Up to" gives retailers marketing power with minimal actual discounting. Look for "everything 40% off" or specific item discounts. Vague promises favor the seller.
Outlet stores sell outlet-made products. Many "outlet" brands sell lower-quality items manufactured specifically for outlets, not overstock from main stores. That Coach or Nike outlet product may have never existed in a regular store. The "compare at" price is meaningless if the product was always intended for outlet sale.
