- Apply rounding: Select this check box to round cash transactions to the nearest nickel. Checks and credit card charges remain in pennies.
When selected, you can configure cash rounding to comply with local cash-handling rules: - Round to Nearest: This method is also known as "Swedish Rounding". If the price is closer to the next nickel (0.05) up or the previous nickel down, it moves to that value. For example:
- The price ends in .01 or .02: round down to .00.
- The price ends in .03 or .04: round up to .05.
- The price ends in .06 or .07: round down to .05.
- The price ends in .08 or .09: round up to .10.
- Math round: Uses 0.05 as a fixed anchor point. Everything below this point is pushed down to the nearest dime, and everything above it is pushed up to the next dime. For example:
- Values from .01 to .04: round down to .00.
- The value .05 remains unchanged.
- Values from .06 to .09: round up to .10.
- Round down: Always move the price down toward the previous 0.05 increment, regardless of how close it is to the next higher value.
- The price ends in .01, .02, 0.03, or 0.04: round down to .00.
- The price ends in .06, .07, 0.08, or 0.09: round down to .05.
