๐ท๏ธ What is a Discount?
A discount is a reduction in the original price of a product or service. Discounts are commonly used in retail, e-commerce, and sales promotions to attract customers and increase sales. Understanding how discounts work helps you make smarter purchasing decisions and maximize your savings.
There are two main types of discounts: percentage discounts (e.g., 20% off) and fixed amount discounts (e.g., $15 off). Our calculator handles both types, making it perfect for any shopping scenario.
