Perdon - neutral way of saying sorry/excuse me in both informal and formal settings
Disculpa - more informal way of saying sorry and is similar to perdona (but more polite)
Disculpe - I know we didn't have time for this one & above during our lesson but this is a more formal and polite/respectful way of saying sorry.
