How to calculate 5% discount from 60 explained
Given, you are about to purchase one or multiple products with a total price of 60 dollars (pounds, euro or any other currency). You received an offer with 5% discount off the full price of 60.
Talking about discount calculation you might have two questions:
- What is the final price of the product after 5% discount applied to the full price of 60?
- What is the amount saved after 5% discount applied to the full price of 60?
There are multiple approaches to calculate percent discounts:
Option 1: use the calculator above

Our calculator uses algorithms listed below anyway. It might save your time and be more convenient. If you are interested in math standing behind it follow next options.
Option 2:
Let’s calculate amount saved first:
Amount you save is simply a percent of the number. To calculate percent, divide the full price by 100 and multiply by percent. In our case:
To get the discounted price, subtract amount saved from the full price:
Option 3:
You may first calculate what is a final percent after discount. For our example, full price is 100%, after 5% discount we will get 95% of the full price:
Having the percent after discount, calculate it of the full price of 60:
There might be different variations for the options above
I.e one of the convenient ways to calculate percent is to shift floating point 2 figures left. This is what divide by 100 means, thus we find fraction of 1. For example for 50% it will be 0.5, for 25% fraction is 0.25, for 10% fraction is 0.1for one percent – 0.01 (1 / 100 = 0.01). Then, having these fractions, multiply it for the full price.
For our case of 5 percent off 60:
Fraction of 1 after discount: 1 - 0.0500 = 0.9500
Final values:
60 * 0.9500 = 57.00 – for final price
As far as you are comfortable with math and have an understanding of percentages, you may come up with any other combination of the options listed above
