Round to the Nearest 25
Rounding to the nearest 25 snaps values to quarter hundreds: 138 becomes 150, while 112 becomes 100. The 25-step matches quarter units people already handle — US quarters (25 cents), quarter hours in time billing, and the 25-point increments common in pricing, test scores and capacity planning. All values on this page use standard half-up rounding.

How to use the Round to the Nearest 25
- Check Number to round: 138.
- Check Round to: nearest.
- Check Nearest multiple of: 25.
- Review the Round to the Nearest 25 result and its exact-value comparison table.
- Verify assumptions before applying the result.
Formula
Round half up at the chosen precision: decimal places count digits after the point, significant figures count digits that carry meaning from the first nonzero digit, and nearest-multiple rounding snaps to a grid such as the nearest 100.

Worked example
Round to the Nearest 25: Number to round = 138; Round to = nearest; Nearest multiple of = 25. Rounding to the nearest 25 snaps values to quarter hundreds: 138 becomes 150, while 112 becomes 100. The 25-step matches quarter units people already handle — US quarters (25 cents), quarter hours in time billing, and the 25-point increments common in pricing, test scores and capacity planning.

Frequently asked questions
Rounding to the nearest 25 snaps values to quarter hundreds: 138 becomes 150, while 112 becomes 100. The reference table on this page shows 8 worked examples computed with exactly that rule.
The halfway points sit at 12.5 past each multiple: 137.5 is exactly between 125 and 150 and rounds up to 150 under half-up.
Use it for ballpark budgets, bulk quantities sold in cases of 25, quarter-point scoring and estimates where a 25-step keeps numbers memorable.
138 rounds to 150. You can verify it in the table on this page, or type any other value into the calculator above.
In time itself: US wage-and-hour rules (the FLSA) have long allowed employers to round clock-in times to the nearest quarter hour — 15 minutes — provided the practice averages out neutrally over time. The 25-step on this page is the same quarter logic applied to plain numbers, and it is why so many estimates, scores and price points naturally land on quarters.
No. Banker's rounding (round-half-to-even) is used in some scientific and financial standards to reduce bias over huge datasets, but this page — and the parent rounding calculator — always rounds a halfway value up, which is the convention taught in schools and used for tax forms.
Yes, with one nuance: the engine rounds halves toward positive infinity, so 47.5 rounds up to 48 at the nearest dollar while -47.5 becomes -47. Away from exact halves, negative values round to the nearest candidate just like positive ones.
