Discount calculator
Work out the price after a percentage or fixed discount, and see how much profit is left before you put up the sign.
Discount
Formula: Sale price = price × (1 - discount rate) · Margin after discount = (sale price - cost) ÷ sale price
How to use it
A percentage like 15%, or a fixed amount in dinars like 2.000.
The original price, then the discount. You get the new price and the discount in dinars.
Enter the item's cost and the calculator shows your profit and margin before and after the discount.
A percentage discount is taken from the original price. An item at 20.000 JOD with 15% off drops by 3.000 JOD to 17.000 JOD. A fixed discount works the same way: 2.000 JOD off the same item gives 18.000 JOD, which is the same as 10% off. The calculator shows the new price and the dinar amount together, so the number on your sale sign is right.
What the sign doesn't show is what the discount does to your profit. If the item cost you 14.000 JOD, you make 6.000 JOD at full price, a 30% margin. After 15% off you make 3.000 JOD, a margin of 17.65%. A 15% discount just took half your profit on that item. Know that number before you launch the offer, and ask whether the extra sales will cover the gap.
In Ghalleh you can discount a single item or the whole invoice, and you get a notification when an employee gives a big discount.
Common questions
How do I turn a dinar discount into a percentage?
Divide the discount by the original price. 2.000 JOD off a 20.000 JOD item is 2.000 ÷ 20.000 = 10%.
Are two 10% discounts the same as 20% off?
No. A 100.000 JOD item becomes 90.000 after the first discount and 81.000 after the second, so the total discount is 19%, not 20%.
What's the biggest discount I can give without a loss?
The one that brings the price down to your cost. An item priced at 20.000 JOD that cost 14.000 JOD can take up to 30% off, and at that point your profit is zero.
