'''Discount''' is a game mechanic in the {{Series|Bloons TD}}, which by definition is the reduction in the cost of towers and/or upgrades. Certain discounts can be the full amount. Most sources of discounts require a tower to be within range to gain the benefit.

Starting in [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']], the [[Easy]] difficulty reduces the costs of towers and upgrades by a set percentage as compared to [[Medium]]. This cost reduction is applied before all other discounts.
Starting in [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|''Bloons Tower Defense 2'']], the [[Easy]] difficulty reduces the costs of towers and upgrades by a set percentage as compared to the base amount. This cost reduction is applied before all other discounts. Starting from [[Bloons TD 4|''Bloons TD 4'']], [[Medium]] has a 100% price, which strangely enough is 102% in ''Bloons Tower Defense 2'' and [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons TD 3'']].


Discount buffs were introduced in [[Bloons TD 5|''Bloons TD 5'']] with the [[Monkey Village (BTD5)|Monkey Village]], which reduces the cost of towers and upgrades purchased in its range by 10%. ''BTD5'' also introduced [[Specialty Buildings]] which discounts a specific type of tower by 5%, and increases the cost of a different tower by 5%.

[[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] introduced many more Discount sources. Some of these apply a percentage change in cost, while others apply a flat decrease. Many Discount sources only apply to certain towers or upgrades. Placement and upgrade costs, aside from purchasing [[Hero]] levels, are always rounded to a multiple of 5.

=== Discount percentage buffs ===
In ''BTD6,'' buffs to Discount percentage stack additively with each other. For example, [[Monkey Business (BTD6)|Monkey Business]] and Discount tiles on [[One Two Tree]] both increase Discount by 10%. Therefore when a purchase is affected by both, its costs are reduced by 20%.

If a Discount percentage is 100% or higher on a tower or upgrade, it may be obtained for free. Unless otherwise stated, multiple towers granting identical Discount percentage buffs do not stack.
If a discount percentage is 100% or higher on a tower or upgrade, it may be obtained for free; [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]] for Tier 1 upgrades of Primary Monkeys and [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]]'s free Dart Monkeys are examples of this. Unless otherwise stated, multiple towers granting identical discount percentage buffs do not stack.
 
[[Paragon]] upgrades and [[Geraldo's Shop]] items cannot be discounted by these buffs. Purchasing Hero levels cannot be discounted by these buffs, except for {{BTD6 mk|Scholarships}}. In ''[[Rogue Legends]]'', party members cannot have their placement cost discounted.


[[Paragon]] upgrades and [[Geraldo's Shop]] items cannot be discounted by any means. Purchasing Hero levels cannot be discounted except by {{BTD6 mk|Scholarships}}.

Discount buffs from different Sun Temples can stack if they are different amounts. For example, towers receive a 30% Discount percentage if they are in range of a Sun Temple with $2,000 in Support sacrifices, and another Sun Temple with $50,000 in Support sacrifices.

=== Price percentage adjustments ===
Some Discounts apply by changing the base cost of towers and upgrades, rather than applying a buff. Unlike buffs, these stack multiplicatively with Discount percentage buffs and with each other. They can affect the prices of [[Paragon]] upgrades, [[Geraldo's Shop]] items, and [[Hero]] levels.

{{incomplete|Add a similar structure to the BTD6 one but add BTDB2 stuff}}
[[Bloons TD Battles 2|''Bloons TD Battles 2'']] has a similar variety of discount sources as BTD6, but with certain new sources. Rules for determining discounts is the same as in BTD6; rounding placement and upgrade costs to a multiple of 5, with exception of Heroes which round to the nearest 1, and discount sources may apply flat or percentage buffs that may affect certain types of tower.
