Retail Markdown Calculator
Check a proposed reduction before printing a shelf sign. Enter the original price and a percentage, or set a target price to see the reduction required. The result is rounded to cents.

The free tool helps with one task. ShelfAhead keeps batches, checks, signs and store activity together.
How to use this tool
- 01
A 25% markdown means customers pay 75% of the original selling price.
- 02
The target-price calculation divides the price difference by the original price. A target above the original price is not a markdown.
- 03
Confirm the final selling price in your POS and check it against the shelf sign before displaying it.
Common questions
How do I calculate a discount from a target price?
Subtract the target from the original price, divide by the original price, then multiply by 100.
Does the calculator change the checkout price?
No. This free tool only calculates a result in your browser. You must update and check your POS separately.
