This is a poll to see how you handle Agent commissions when there is a third decimal in the commission amount.

Given a Premium of 1000.00 and a commission of 200.005 what is the Amount Due from the Agent?

Like this feature to round commission UP and have Amount Due 799.99

Hi Rob, there are many ways to handle rounding but I prefer "Round away from 0" in the event of a tie.

This would round 200.005 to 200.01 but round -200.005 to -200.01

This differs from "Round up" in that negative numbers are treated differently.

"Round up" would round -200.005 to £200.00.

Options are:

Round up

Round down

Round towards 0

Round away from 0

Round to even

Round to odd

Stochastic rounding - Random

Alternate rounding - Round the first tie up, the next down and so on.

It would seem to me that round away from zero should be the universal standard throughout all features everywhere. Does anyone disagree?

Where do we vote on Round away from 0? :)

Heh, thanks Mark, I meant away from zero - I'll put a comment on the other one to clarify

@Adam, yes, someone does disagree which is the reason for this poll :)
