Rounding rules
Rounding rules are applicable in both cases (when using the central
rate and when using the conversion rates). After conversion, the euro
amounts will be rounded up or down to the nearest cent. If the result
of conversion is an amount, which is precisely in the middle it will
be rounded up.
- if the number of the third decimal place is less than 5,
then the euro figure must be rounded down (e.g. 24.784 EUR becomes
24.78 EUR);
- if the number of the third decimal place is five or above,
then the euro figure must be rounded up (e.g. 24.785 EUR becomes 24.79
EUR).
Example of rounding after conversion into euros at the central
rate
Example 1:
500 SIT = 500 : 239.640 = 2.0864... → 2,09 EUR
(the third decimal place is five or more, the euro figure is rounded up)
Example 2:
1.000 SIT = 1.000 : 239.640 = 4.1729... → 4.17 EUR
(the third decimal place is less than five, the euro figure is rounded down).
