Quick answer
Savings = percent of original price + flat rupee off (never more than the price). Final price = original minus savings. Total off % shows how deep the cut feels to buyers. Add your cost per unit to see profit and margin left over. Run the numbers before you post a WhatsApp status or ad creative.
How to use the discount calculator
- Pick a preset close to your offer — festive 10%, a flat Rs off coupon, or a deep clearance cut — or start blank.
- Enter the original price (MRP or your usual list price).
- Add percent and/or flat off to match your actual offer terms.
- Enter your cost per unit (optional) to unlock profit and margin left after the discount.
- Read the insight line — it flags offers that sell below cost or leave a razor-thin margin before you post anything.
Once the final price looks right, schedule it on the Marketing Calendar so the offer has a start and end date.
Percent vs flat — pick the story buyers understand
A "10% off" feels different from "Rs 100 off" even when the maths is close. Choose the format that matches the product price band.
- •Percent. Works well on mid and high tickets so the cut scales.
- •Flat. Clear on low-ticket items where 5% looks tiny in chat.
- •Combined. Use sparingly (e.g. 10% + Rs 50 coupon). Always show final price.
After you know the final price, confirm margin with the profit margin calculator and tax treatment with the GST calculator if you charge GST (not tax advice).
Plan sales without panic discounting
Good offers have a reason, a date, and a depth you can survive. Bad offers are replies typed at midnight.
Update the same final price on your Futkar catalogue so WhatsApp screenshots match the store. Pair offer weeks with stock checks so you do not sell out the loss-leader and disappoint buyers.
Next step: schedule campaigns on the Marketing Calendar, run a go-live pass with the Marketing Launch Checklist, then Launch offer with checklist.
Paid ads and calendars need a locked final price
If Meta or Google creatives say Rs 799 and your chat says Rs 849, you burn trust and ad spend together.
Read paid advertising on a small budget for spend discipline, then put offer dates on the marketing calendar so helpers know when the discount ends. Retention deals after the sale belong in your longer relationship plan — not endless slash pricing.
Publish the offer price on your free online store so every channel points to one number.
Use cases — who should run this discount calculator
Use it any time an offer is about to become a WhatsApp status, an ad creative, or a catalogue banner.
