How to get original price from percentage discount in Excel

by

If you have a discounted price and know the discount percentage, you can calculate the original price with a simple formula that divides the discounted price by the result of 1 minus the discount percentage.

Worked Example:   How to increase by percentage in Excel

See example below:

Formula

=price/(1-discount)

Explanation

How the formula works

In the example, the active cell contains this formula:

=C6/(1-D6)

In this case, Excel first calculates the result of 1 – the value in D6 (.2) to get 0.8. Next the value in C6 (56), which represents the discounted or “sale” price, is divided by 0.8 to get a final result of 70:

=56/(1-0.2)
=56/0.8
=70
