Calculation breakdown
- Rounded value
- Round-half-away-from-zero to the chosen precision
Worked example
123.456 rounded to 2 decimal places is 123.46, or to the nearest 100 is 100.
Assumptions
- Uses round-half-away-from-zero, so 0.5 rounds to 1 and -0.5 rounds to -1.
- Decimal-place setting is ignored when rounding to nearest 10, 100 or 1000.
How this calculator works
This calculator rounds a number to the decimal-place precision or nearest whole-number multiple you choose, using round-half-away-from-zero. It's useful for tidying measurements, invoices or reported figures.
Round a number to decimal places
Choose the number of digits to keep after the decimal point. The next digit determines whether the retained value stays the same or increases, using the rounding method shown with the result.
For example, rounding 12.346 to two decimal places gives 12.35 because the third decimal digit is 6. Rounding to zero decimal places produces a whole number.
Round once at the end of a calculation
Repeatedly rounding intermediate values can create a different final answer from keeping full precision and rounding once. Retain extra digits while calculating, especially for rates, measurements and financial totals.
Display rounding does not change the underlying measurement uncertainty. Follow the required accounting, statistical, scientific or classroom convention when a specific method or number of significant figures is prescribed.
Frequently asked questions
What rounding rule is used?
Round-half-away-from-zero is used, so 0.5 rounds to 1 and -0.5 rounds to -1 rather than to the nearest even number.
Can I round to the nearest 100 or 1000?
Yes, choose that option from the rounding target and any decimal-place setting is ignored.
Does it work with negative numbers?
Yes, negative numbers are rounded correctly, for example -2.5 rounds to -3 with round-half-away-from-zero.
