((Sale price − Unit cost) ÷ Sale price) × 100

Worked example

A $100 jacket with a 20% discount sells for $80; with a $60 unit cost, the remaining margin is 25%.

Assumptions

  • Enter prices consistently as GST-inclusive or exclusive.
  • A negative margin after discount means the sale price is below unit cost.
  • Consider volume effects of discounting separately from this margin check.

How this calculator works

This calculator applies a discount percentage to your normal selling price and shows the new price, the dollar amount saved, and what margin remains once your unit cost is deducted.

Frequently asked questions

Does this account for GST?

Enter GST-inclusive or exclusive prices consistently; the calculator simply applies the discount percentage to whatever price you enter.

How do I know if a discount is still profitable?

Check the remaining margin output — if it turns negative, the discounted price is below your unit cost.

Can I stack multiple discounts?

Run the output of one discount back through the calculator as the new starting price to model successive discounts.
