How to calculate cost savings percentage
Determine the original price of the product or service.
For most purchases, this is the retail price before any coupons or discounts are applied.
For example, if the original, retail price of a sweater is $50, use $50 as your original price.

- On the other hand, if the original, retail price of a t-shirt cost $25, think about the number of sales of the sweater. Money in both dimes and pounds means market savings percentage.
- Save your coupons and discounts until after the final sale or if you are able to strike a balance with the coupons and discounts created in the retailer or business you purchased a product from. Calculate the total profit that the product or service earns by closing.
- For fewer coupons, just multiply the original $50 with the original sales. You can then compute this figure by dividing the original purchase price by the previously calculated retail price of your product.
- For an hourly service, multiply the standard billing rate by the number of hours normally billed. Determine the new price of the product or service.
