• 2. Round to nearest decimal (multiple of 0.05): It will round the payable value to nearest decimal number that is a multiple of 0.05. For example 1.49 will be rounded to 1.50, 1.51 will be rounded to 1.50, 1.59 will be rounded to 1.60, 1.54 will be rounded to 1.55 Similarly, all other round to nearest decimal number works as per the multiplier.
