Use this price drop calculator to compare an old price with a new sale price. See the dollar drop, percentage drop, and whether the markdown is small, moderate, or strong.
A price drop shows how much a product has decreased from its previous price. The percentage drop helps you compare deals across different price ranges.
If a product was $200 and is now $150, the price dropped by $50. That is a 25% price drop.
A price drop can look large in dollars but small in percentage. Use this calculator with the buy now or wait calculator when deciding whether a sale is worth taking now.
