Counter Offer Calculator

How to calculate a counter offer? A counter offer is a response to an initial offer, often made in negotiations to reach a mutually agreeable price or terms. Enter the original offer and discount rate into the following calculator to know the counter offer.

Enter the required values to calculate either the counteroffer or the discount rate. In advanced mode, you can calculate the final negotiated offer based on the counteroffer and increment rate.

Enter the original offer in dollars (USD). This is the initial amount proposed before any discount. Enter the discount rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.1 for a 10% discount). Enter the counteroffer in dollars (USD). This is the revised amount proposed in the negotiation.

How to Calculate the Counter Offer

The formula to calculate the counter offer is:

 $\text{CO} = \text{O} - (\text{O} \times \text{D})$

CO	is the counter offer amount ($)
O	is the original offer amount ($)
D	is the discount rate (decimal)

Calculation Guide:

1. Identify the Original Offer (O):

More Calculators

Let’s say the original offer is $1000.

2. Identify the Discount Rate (D):

Suppose the discount rate is 10%, which is 0.1 in decimal.

3. Apply the Formula:

Calculate the discount amount:

$\text{O} \times \text{D} = 1000 \times 0.1 = 100$

Subtract the discount amount from the original offer:

$1000 – 100 = 900$

Therefore, the counter offer amount (CO) is $900.
