Discount Calculator

Discounting without giving away margin

A discount is a fast way to win a deal, but every percentage point comes straight off your profit. Before you offer one, know exactly what it costs you. This calculator shows the money saved and the final price so the conversation is grounded in numbers, not vibes.

For freelancers, prefer adding value (a faster timeline, an extra deliverable) over cutting your rate — a discount sets a lower anchor for every future project with that client.

Stacking discounts

Two discounts do not simply add up. A 20% then a further 10% off is not 30% off — it is 28%, because the second cut applies to the already-reduced price. When in doubt, apply them one at a time.
