How the Rounding Calculator Works

Rounding replaces a number with a nearby, simpler one. Pick how precise you want to be — a number of decimal places, or the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000 — and the calculator rounds to it using the standard rule: look at the next digit, round up if it’s 5 or more, down if it’s less.

It also shows rounding down (floor), rounding up (ceiling) and truncation, since different situations call for different methods — pricing often rounds up, while measurements usually round to the nearest.

rounded = nearest multiple of the chosen step

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I round a number?

Decide the place to round to, look at the digit after it, and round up if that digit is 5 or more, otherwise leave it. 3.14159 to two decimals is 3.14.

What is the difference between round, floor and ceiling?

Round goes to the nearest; floor always rounds down; ceiling always rounds up. The calculator shows all three.

How do I round to the nearest 10 or 100?

Choose that option and the calculator snaps the number to the nearest multiple — 347 rounds to 350 at the nearest 10, or 300 at the nearest 100.
