What is a Double Discount Calculator?

A double discount calculator applies two discounts in sequence. The second discount is calculated on the already reduced price, not on the original price.

Double Discount Formulas

After First Discount: Price 1 = Original Price × (1 − Discount 1 % ÷ 100)

After Second Discount: Final Price = Price 1 × (1 − Discount 2 % ÷ 100)

Why Two Discounts Are Not Added Directly

Two discounts of 20% and 10% do not equal a 30% total discount. The second discount is taken from the already reduced price, so the combined effect is smaller than a simple sum.
