Net Price Factor Calculator

When businesses offer discounts off the list price, it’s important to know the net price factor and the net price to understand actual costs.
Our Net Price Factor Calculator helps you easily compute both by entering the list price and the discount rate.

This saves time for buyers, sellers, and financial planners by showing exactly how much will be paid after discounts.

Formula to Calculate Net Price Factor

The Net Price Factor is simply the portion of the list price left after the discount:

$\text{Net Price Factor}=1-\frac{\text{Discount Rate}}{100}$

Where:

• Discount Rate = percentage discount on list price

Formula to Calculate Net Price

Once you know the Net Price Factor, multiply it by the List Price to get the Net Price:

$\text{Net Price}=\text{List Price}\times \text{Net Price Factor}$

Where:

• List Price = original price before discount

Example Calculation

Let’s say:

• List Price = $1,000
• Discount Rate = 15%

Step 1: Calculate Net Price Factor

$\text{Net Price Factor}=1-\frac{15}{100}$

$\text{Net Price Factor}=1-0.15=0.85$

Step 2: Calculate Net Price

$\text{Net Price}=1,000\times 0.85$

$\text{Net Price}=850$

So the Net Price Factor = 0.85 and the Net Price = $850

FAQs

1. What is a Net Price Factor?

A Net Price Factor is the portion of the list price that remains after a discount is applied. For example, if the discount is 20%, the net price factor is 0.80 (80% of the list price remains).

2. Why is Net Price Factor important?

It helps buyers and sellers quickly see what percentage of the original price they’ll actually pay after discounts. It’s very useful for bulk purchases, contracts, and budgeting.

3. How do you find the Net Price from the Net Price Factor?

Multiply the List Price by the Net Price Factor:

$\text{Net Price}=\text{List Price}\times \text{Net Price Factor}$​​​​​​​

This gives you the actual price after discounts.
