Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Sale Price

Follow these steps to get an accurate calculation every time.

1. Enter the original price. Type the number from the price tag into the “Original Price” box. Do not worry about adding currency symbols; just use the numbers.
2. Input the discount percentage. Type the “percent off” number into the second box. If the sign says 30% off, just type 30. Error Flag: Do not type the percent symbol (%) in the box, or the tool might not read it correctly.
3. Click “Calculate Sale Price.” Tap the blue button to run the math. You will see a result card pop up immediately below the button.
4. Check the “Sale Price” result. Look at the large blue number. This is the amount the cashier should charge you before tax.
5. Review your savings. Look at the green “Total Savings” box at the bottom. This shows you exactly how much cash is staying in your pocket.

Why This Tool Matters

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Entering the “New” Price: Users sometimes put the sale price in the “Original Price” box. This will give you the wrong discount. Always start with the higher, original number.
• Percentage Confusion: If a sign says “Buy one get one 50% off,” the discount on your total order is actually 25%. Make sure you enter the actual percentage being taken off the total.

Mistyping Decimals: Putting a decimal in the wrong spot (like 50.0 instead of 5.0) can change your result by hundreds of Naira. Double-check your dots before clicking calculate.
