Rounds any number to two decimal places (the hundredths place) using standard rounding rules.
How it works
The number is multiplied by 100, rounded to the nearest whole number, then divided by 100 to restore the decimal place.
What this does not include
This does not include rounding to a different precision — for one decimal place, use this site’s round to the nearest tenth calculator instead.

Frequently asked questions
What rounding rule does this use?
Standard round-half-up: a value exactly halfway between two hundredths rounds up to the higher one.
Why round to the nearest hundredth specifically?
It’s the standard precision for currency and many everyday measurements, where two decimal places (like cents in a dollar) are the practical limit of precision needed.
Does this work the same for negative numbers?
Yes — the same rounding logic applies regardless of sign.
