Six Ways to Round Numbers

Choose the right rounding method for your use case.

⬆️

Round Half Up

If the digit is 5 or more, round up. Otherwise, round down. This is the standard rounding taught in schools.

2.5 -> 3, 3.5 -> 4
⬇️

Round Half Down

If the digit is 5, round down instead of up. Round up only if greater than 5.

2.5 -> 2, 2.6 -> 3
🏦

Round Half Even (Banker's)

If the digit is exactly 5, round to the nearest even number. Reduces cumulative rounding bias in financial computations.

2.5 -> 2, 3.5 -> 4

Round Up (Ceiling)

Always round toward positive infinity. Any non-zero remainder increases the value.

2.1 -> 3, -2.9 -> -2

Round Down (Floor)

Always round toward negative infinity. Simply discard digits beyond the rounding place.

2.9 -> 2, -2.1 -> -3
✂️

Truncate (Toward Zero)

Remove digits beyond the desired place without any rounding. Simply cut off the excess.

2.9 -> 2, -2.9 -> -2

Frequently Asked Questions

What is rounding?
Rounding is the process of replacing a number with a simpler, approximate value. For example, 3.14159 rounded to 2 decimal places becomes 3.14.
What is the difference between rounding up and rounding down?
Rounding up increases to the next higher rounded number (ceiling mode). Rounding down decreases to the next lower rounded number (floor mode). Standard rounding does both depending on whether the deciding digit is 5 or more.
What is Banker's Rounding?
Banker's Rounding (half-even) rounds numbers exactly at the midpoint to the nearest even number. For example, 2.5 becomes 2 and 3.5 becomes 4. This reduces cumulative bias in financial calculations.
How do I round negative numbers?
Negative numbers follow the same rules. For standard rounding, -2.5 rounds to -3. Ceiling rounds toward positive infinity (-2.3 → -2), floor rounds toward negative infinity (-2.3 → -3), and truncation rounds toward zero (-2.9 → -2).
What is the difference between rounding and truncating?
Rounding considers the deciding digit to choose up or down. Truncation simply removes digits beyond the rounding place without adjustment. Truncating 2.97 to a whole number gives 2, while rounding gives 3.
How do I round to significant figures?
Count from the first non-zero digit and keep the desired number of significant figures. For example, 0.004567 to 3 significant figures becomes 0.00457. Use our calculator by choosing the appropriate decimal place.
Is this calculator accurate for very large numbers?
Yes, our calculator handles numbers within JavaScript's 64-bit floating-point range (approximately ±1.8 × 10³⁰⁸). For extremely precise decimals beyond 15-17 significant digits, minor floating-point artifacts may occur.
Can I round multiple numbers at once?
Yes! Use our Batch Rounding feature. Enter multiple numbers separated by commas, spaces, or new lines, choose your settings, and round them all at once.
