Common Questions
When do I need to start rounding?
There's no federal mandate yet, but pennies are already scarce. Many businesses are implementing rounding now to get ahead of the transition. Treasury guidance recommends symmetrical rounding to the nearest 5 cents.
What if customers don't like rounding?
Clear signage and well-trained staff prevent most concerns. Remind customers that card payments remain exact, and that rounding balances out over time. Consider rounding down during the transition period to build goodwill.
Do I need to change my prices?
No. Keep your prices as they are. Rounding only applies to the final transaction total for cash payments, not to individual item prices. Your existing pricing strategy remains intact.
