How to Use the Original Price Calculator

An Original Price Calculator is a tool used to determine the original price of an item before a discount is applied.

What It Does:

If you know the sale price (what you paid) and the discount percentage (e.g., 25% off), this calculator will work backward to figure out the original full price before the discount was applied.

---

Steps to Use:

1. Enter the discounted price — the price you paid after the discount.
2. Input the discount percentage (e.g., if the item was 25% off, enter 25).
3. Click “Calculate Original Price”.

You’ll see the original price of the item before the discount was applied.

Example:

If you bought a jacket for $75 at 25% off, the calculator will show that the original price was $100.00.

Original Price Calculator FAQ

Q1: What if I enter a 100% discount?
A: The calculator will reject it. A 100% discount would make the original price infinite, which is not valid.

Q2: Can I use this for tax calculations?
A: No, this tool is only designed to calculate the original price from a known discount, not tax-inclusive prices.

Q3: What if the discount is unknown?
A: This calculator assumes you know both the discounted price and discount percentage. If not, try using a percentage discount calculator instead.

Q4: Does this work for multiple discounts?
A: No. This tool calculates based on a single discount. For layered discounts (e.g., 10% + 20%), more advanced logic would be needed.

Q5: Is this result exact?
A: Yes, the math used is precise based on the percentage you enter and assumes no taxes, shipping, or rounding differences from store pricing.
