Frequently asked questions
What is rounding to the nearest cent?
Reducing a money amount to two decimal places. A third decimal of 5 or more rounds the cents up — $9.999 becomes $10.00.
Why two decimals?
The cent is the smallest unit of most currencies, so financial totals, interest and taxes are always stated to two places.
How does it handle $0.125?
It becomes $0.13. The thousandths digit 5 rounds the hundredths digit up.
Does it work for negative amounts?
Yes. Refunds and losses round away from zero, so -$2.567 becomes -$2.57, mirroring the positive rule.
