Short answer
Find the sale price after a percentage or rupee discount, or the discount % between two prices. Add your cost to see the profit left after the discount and how many more items you must sell to earn the same profit, before you announce a sale.
Roman Urdu mein
Discount ke baad price kitni banegi, aur Profit kitna bachega, yahan dekhein. Cost likhenge to ye bhi pata chalega ke wohi Profit kamane ke liye kitna zyada bechna hoga.

How to use the discount calculator
Step 1: Choose the mode
% off for "15% off", Rs off for "200 rupees off", or Find the % when you know the price before and after.
Step 2: Enter the original price
The normal price on the shelf or the menu.
Step 3: Enter the discount or the new price
The sale price and the rupees saved appear at once.
Step 4: Add your cost
Optional, but it is the useful part: you see the profit per item before and after, the new margin, and how many times as many items you must sell to keep the same profit.
How it's calculated
- Sale price = original price × (1 − discount % ÷ 100)
- Discount % = (original price − sale price) ÷ original price × 100
- Profit after the discount = sale price − cost
- Sales needed to keep the same profit = profit before ÷ profit after
The last line is the one most sales forget. A discount comes straight out of your profit, not out of the price as a whole, so a small-looking discount can halve what you earn on each item.
Worked example
A shirt sells for 1,200 rupees and costs you 900 rupees. You plan a 15% Eid discount.
- Discount = 1,200 × 15 ÷ 100 = 180 rupees, sale price 1,020 rupees
- Profit before = 1,200 − 900 = 300 rupees; after = 1,020 − 900 = 120 rupees
- Margin falls from 25% to 11.8%
- To earn the same profit you must sell 300 ÷ 120 = 2.5 times as many shirts
If the sale will not move two and a half times the volume, a smaller discount, a discount only on slow stock, or a bundle may work better. In Nafaa, discounts can be set as a percentage or an amount, and the profit report shows what the sale really earned afterwards.
Common questions
How do I calculate 20% off a price?
Multiply the price by 0.8. For 20% off 2,500 rupees: 2,500 × 0.8 = 2,000 rupees, a saving of 500 rupees. For any percentage, subtract it from 100, divide by 100, and multiply the price by the result. The % off mode in this calculator does it for you and also shows the saving in rupees.
Is a percentage discount better than a rupee discount?
They are the same thing written differently, but customers read them differently. On cheap items a percentage often sounds larger, and on expensive items a rupee figure does. For your profit, what matters is the rupees taken off each item compared with the profit on that item. Enter both versions here with your cost and compare the profit left.
How much more do I need to sell to cover a discount?
Divide the profit per item before the discount by the profit per item after it. If you earned 100 rupees an item and the discount leaves 60, you must sell 100 ÷ 60, about 1.67 times as many items, just to stand still. The calculator shows this figure when you enter your cost, so you can judge whether the sale is worth running.
