How to Round Off Numbers in Notion (Easy Method)

Notion doesn’t have a built-in “round” button, but with a simple formula, you can easily control how many decimal places appear. This keeps your data clean and professional.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to round numbers in Notion with clear examples and ready-to-use formulas you can copy into your pages.

How to Round Off Numbers in Notion?

Step 1: Add a Number Column

Start with a Notion database — like an Expense Tracker, Grade Sheet, or Project Budget.

Make sure the column you want to round is set to Number type.

If it’s set to Text, formulas won’t work.

Example setup:

Title – “Month” or “Category”

Amount – Number property with decimal values

You’ll round the Amount column using a formula column next.

We’ll demonstrate how to round these numbers to 0, 1, and 2 decimal places.

⚠️ Note: Rounding formulas only work on Number properties. If your column is set to Text, the formula won’t work. Make sure the target column uses the correct property type.

Step 2: Create a Formula Column

Click the + icon to add a new column.

Choose Formula from the property type list.

Name it something like Rounded Amount or Round to 0 decimal places.

This column will display the cleaned-up numbers automatically.

Step 3: Access the Formula Window

To enter your formula:

Click Edit property on the new formula column.

The formula window will open. Here, you can type your rounding expression, like: round(Amount)

This interface is where all Notion formulas are created. Once you enter the formula, the column will automatically display the rounded numbers according to the logic you choose (whole number, 1 decimal, 2 decimals, etc.). This shows to round the amount as whole number

💡 Tip: You can create multiple formula columns to display the same number rounded to 1, 2, or more decimals for easy comparison.

How to Round Numbers to Specific Decimals in Notion

Round to One Decimal

To keep one decimal place, use: round(Amount * 10)/10

Here’s how it works: multiplying by 10 moves the decimal one place to the right, round() rounds it, and dividing by 10 moves it back. For example, 3.67 becomes 3.7.

Use this for scores, ratings, or averages where one decimal gives enough detail without clutter.

Example of rounding to one decimal in Notion.

Round to Two Decimals

To round to two decimal places, use: round(Amount *100)/100

This moves the decimal two places, rounds, then restores it. A value like 3.678 becomes 3.68.

Two-decimal rounding is perfect for currency, budgets, percentages, and financial summaries. It ensures numbers look consistent and professional.

Example of rounding to two decimals in Notion.

Round to Custom Decimals

For more precision, extend the same pattern:

round(prop *1000)/1000 - For 3 decimals

round(prop *10000)/10000 - For 4 decimals

Every extra zero adds one decimal place. This is useful for scientific measurements, technical data, or analytics where small differences matter.

Handling Negative Numbers

Rounding negative values works the same way in Notion, but note this subtle rule:

It rounds toward the nearest whole, not always toward zero.

Input	Formula	Output
-4.49	round (prop(”Value”))	-4
-4.51	round (prop(”Value”))	-5

This is especially useful for budgets, debts, or net balances where you want accurate rounding behavior.

Round() Vs. Floor() Vs. Ceil()

Each rounding function in Notion behaves differently.

Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right one:

Function	What It Does	Example Input	Output	Best For
round ()	Rounds to the nearest number	3.2, 3.8	→ 3, 4	Averages, totals, general rounding
floor ()	Always rounds down	3.1, 3.9, -3.1	→ 3, 3, -4	Counting full units, ages, pages
ceil ()	Always rounds up	3.1, 3.9, -3.9	→ 4, 4, -3	Capacity, planning, resource allocation

💡 Tip:
Use round () for most everyday calculations.
Use floor () when you need complete units only.
Use ceil () when you must ensure enough coverage.

Choosing the right rounding function keeps your Notion data clean, predictable, and accurate.

Quick Reference Table

This table lets your readers see everything at a glance: whole numbers, decimals, negatives, and alternate rounding methods.

Rounding Type	Formula	Example Input	Example Output	Notes / Use Case
Round to Whole Number	`round(prop("Value"))`	23.6	24	For totals, counts, or simple integer values.
Round to 1 Decimal	`round(prop("Value") * 10) / 10`	3.67	3.7	Ideal for ratings, averages, or scores with one decimal.
Round to 2 Decimals	`round(prop("Value") * 100) / 100`	3.678	3.68	Perfect for currency, budgets, and percentages.
Round to 3 Decimals	`round(prop("Value") * 1000) / 1000`	3.6784	3.678	Useful for scientific or analytical data.
Round to 4 Decimals	`round(prop("Value") * 10000) / 10000`	3.67845	3.6785	High-precision scenarios.
Negative Numbers	`round(prop("Value"))`	-4.49	-4	Rounds toward the nearest whole number, not away from zero.
Ceil (Emulated)	`-round(-prop("Value"))`	3.2	4	Always rounds up. Useful for minimum required quantities.
Floor (Emulated)	`round(prop("Value") - 0.5)`	3.7	3	Always rounds down. Useful for full units, pagination, or age calculations.

Final Thoughts

Rounding numbers in Notion is simple once you know the right formulas. The round() function lets you format numbers cleanly, whether to a whole number or several decimals.

By mastering these small formula tricks, you can keep your Notion databases accurate, organized, and visually consistent.

Whether you’re building a budget tracker, scorecard, or report dashboard, these rounding methods ensure your numbers look clean and professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to round a number in Notion?

Use the round() function in a formula column. For example, round(prop("Value")) rounds a number to the nearest whole number.

How to round off to 2 decimal places in Notion?

Multiply the number by 100, round it, then divide by 100: round(prop("Value") * 100) / 100. This keeps two digits after the decimal.

Can I round negative numbers in Notion?

Yes. Negative numbers round toward the nearest whole number, not away from zero. For example: round(-4.49) → -4, round(-4.51) → -5.

Can I round numbers in Notion text columns?

A: No. The round() function only works with Number property columns. Make sure your target column is set to Number.
