How to Calculate Markdown
What is Markdown?
A markdown (price reduction) calculator determines sale prices, discount amounts, and the percentage reduction applied to an original price. Markdown % = (original price − sale price) ÷ original price × 100. Retailers use markdown analysis to balance clearance goals with margin protection.
