Round To Nearest Cent Calculator
Quickly round any dollar amount to the nearest cent or nearest whole dollar.
How Round To Nearest Cent Calculator Works
This calculator takes any dollar amount with multiple decimal places and rounds it to either the nearest cent (two decimal places) or the nearest whole dollar (no decimal places).
When rounding to the nearest cent, amounts ending in 0.5 cents or higher round up, while amounts below 0.5 cents round down. For example, $5.567 becomes $5.57, while $5.563 would become $5.56.
The nearest dollar option removes all cents entirely, following the same rounding rules but applied to the dollar amount. This is useful for budgeting, tax calculations, or when you need clean, whole numbers for financial planning.
