Rounding Calculator

Calculated using standard mathematical and industry formulas.

Free online Rounding Calculator calculator and unit conversion tool for everyday, engineering, and home projects.

How to use this calculator?

1. Enter the number you want to round.
2. Set the number of decimal places (0 = integer).
3. Select the rounding method and read all comparison results at once.

Formula & calculation method

Rounding methods

Standard: round(x × 10ⁿ) / 10ⁿ · Floor: ⌊x × 10ⁿ⌋ / 10ⁿ · Ceiling: ⌈x × 10ⁿ⌉ / 10ⁿ · Truncate: trunc(x × 10ⁿ) / 10ⁿ

n = number of decimal places. Results are also shown for nearest 10, 100, and 1,000.

Step-by-step calculation example

123.4567 to 2 decimals: Standard = 123.46, Floor = 123.45, Ceiling = 123.46, Truncate = 123.45.

Key insights to remember

• Standard rounding (half-up): digits 5–9 round up, 1–4 round down. 2.5 → 3.
• Floor always rounds toward −∞: floor(2.9) = 2, floor(-2.1) = -3.
• Ceiling always rounds toward +∞: ceil(2.1) = 3, ceil(-2.9) = -2.
• Truncation removes decimals without rounding: trunc(2.9) = 2, trunc(-2.9) = -2.

How to interpret your results?

When to use floor vs ceiling

Use floor when you cannot overshoot (e.g. number of complete items). Use ceiling when you must cover all cases (e.g. number of pages needed).

Significant figures vs decimal places

Decimal places count digits after the decimal point. Significant figures count all meaningful digits from the first non-zero digit.
