Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?

What input does it accept?

Any numeric value. You choose mode: round up or round down, and optionally the number of decimal places (0 = integer).

JavaScript number precision applies. Very large or very small numbers may show rounding artifacts.

Is calculation done locally?

Yes. All calculation runs in your browser.

When should I use it?

Use it for pricing (round up), allocating resources (round down), or any rounding that must be consistent.

Why does rounding look wrong?

Floating-point representation can cause 0.1 + 0.2 ≠ 0.3. For money, consider using integer cents or a decimal library.
