How to Calculate Multiple Discounts (Compound Savings)



The Problem: The "Addition" Error in Staged Sales

Many people think a 20% sale plus a 10% member discount equals 30% off. This is incorrect. Calculating discounts by adding them together leads to underpricing your products and destroying your profit margins.

🎯 The Solution: Sequential Calculation Logic

Discounts must be applied in stages. First, apply the primary discount to the original price, then apply the secondary discount to the newly reduced price. This disciplined practice protects your yield.

  • Step 1: Apply 20% to $100 = $80.
  • Step 2: Apply 10% to $80 = $72 (Total discount is 28%, not 30%).
