40% Off 1,000

40% off 1,000 = 600 (you save 400)

How to calculate 40% off 1,000

  1. Find the discount: 40% of 1,000 = 0.4 × 1,000 = 400.
  2. Subtract it from the price: 1,000 − 400 = 600.

Or in one step, multiply by the share you pay: 1,000 × 0.6 = 600.

Stacked discounts do not add up: an extra 10% off the sale price gives 540, which is 46% off in total, not 50%.
