The easiest approach would be to use toFixed and then strip trailing zeros using the Number function   const number   15 5  Number number toFixed 2       15 5   const number   1 7777777  Number number toFixed 2       1 78

I know there are many answers  but most of them have side effect in some specific cases   Easiest and shortest solution without any side effects is following   Number  2 3456789  toFixed 2      2 35   It rounds properly and returns number instead of string  console log Number  2 345  toFixed 2        2 35 console log Number  2 344  toFixed 2        2 34 console log Number  2  toFixed 2            2 console log Number  -2  toFixed 2           -2 console log Number  -2 345  toFixed 2       -2 35  console log Number  2 345678  toFixed 3       2 346

MarkG and Lavamantis offered a much better solution than the one that has been accepted  It s a shame they don t get more upvotes   Here is the function I use to solve the floating point decimals issues also based on MDN  It is even more generic  but less concise  than Lavamantis s solution   function round value  exp      if  typeof exp      undefined      exp     0      return Math round value      value    value    exp     exp     if  isNaN value       typeof exp      number   amp  amp  exp   1     0       return NaN        Shift   value   value toString   split  e      value   Math round   value 0     e     value 1      value 1    exp    exp           Shift back   value   value toString   split  e      return   value 0     e     value 1      value 1  - exp    -exp        Use it with   round 10 8034  2           Returns 10 8 round 1 275  2             Returns 1 28 round 1 27499  2           Returns 1 27 round 1 2345678e 2  2      Returns 123 46   Compared to Lavamantis s solution  we can do     round 1234 5678  -2      Returns 1200 round  123 45            Returns 123

In general  decimal rounding is done by scaling  round num   p    p Naive implementation Using the following function with halfway numbers  you will get either the upper rounded value as expected  or the lower rounded value sometimes depending on the input  This inconsistency in rounding may introduce hard to detect bugs in the client code   x000D   x000D  function naiveRound num  decimalPlaces   0        var p   Math pow 10  decimalPlaces       return Math round num   p    p     console log  naiveRound 1 245  2         1 25 correct  rounded as expected  console log  naiveRound 1 255  2         1 25 incorrect  should be 1 26      testing edge cases console log  naiveRound 1 005  2         1    incorrect  should be 1 01  console log  naiveRound 2 175  2         2 17 incorrect  should be 2 18  console log  naiveRound 5 015  2         5 01 incorrect  should be 5 02  x000D   x000D   x000D   Better implementations Exponential notation By converting the number to a string in the exponential notation  positive numbers are rounded as expected  But  be aware that negative numbers round differently than positive numbers  In fact  it performs what is basically equivalent to  quot round half up quot  as the rule  you will see that round -1 005  2  evaluates to -1 even though round 1 005  2  evaluates to 1 01  The lodash   round method uses this technique   x000D   x000D         Round half up   round half towards positive infinity      Uses exponential notation to avoid floating-point issues     Negative numbers round differently than positive numbers      function round num  decimalPlaces   0        num   Math round num    e    decimalPlaces       return Number num    e    -decimalPlaces         test rounding of half console log  round 0 5  0         1 console log  round -0 5  0        0     testing edge cases console log  round 1 005  2          1 01 console log  round 2 175  2          2 18 console log  round 5 015  2          5 02  console log  round -1 005  2         -1 console log  round -2 175  2         -2 17 console log  round -5 015  2         -5 01 x000D   x000D   x000D   If you want the usual behavior when rounding negative numbers  you would need to convert negative numbers to positive before calling Math round    and then convert them back to negative numbers before returning     Round half away from zero function round num  decimalPlaces   0        num   Math round Math abs num     quot e quot    decimalPlaces    Math sign num       return Number num    quot e quot    -decimalPlaces      Number EPSILON There is a different purely mathematical technique to perform round-to-nearest  using  quot round half away from zero quot    in which epsilon correction is applied before calling the rounding function  Simply  we add the smallest possible float value    1 0 ulp  unit in the last place  to the product before rounding  This moves to the next representable float value  away from zero   x000D   x000D         Round half away from zero   commercial  rounding     Uses correction to offset floating-point inaccuracies     Works symmetrically for positive and negative numbers      function round num  decimalPlaces   0        var p   Math pow 10  decimalPlaces       var m    num   p     1   Number EPSILON       return Math round m    p        test rounding of half console log  round 0 5  0         1 console log  round -0 5  0        -1     testing edge cases console log  round 1 005  2         1 01 console log  round 2 175  2         2 18 console log  round 5 015  2         5 02  console log  round -1 005  2        -1 01 console log  round -2 175  2        -2 18 console log  round -5 015  2        -5 02 x000D   x000D   x000D   This is needed to offset the implicit round-off error that may occur during encoding of decimal numbers  particularly those  having  quot 5 quot  in the last decimal position  like 1 005  2 675 and 16 235  Actually  1 005 in decimal system is encoded to 1 0049999999999999 in 64-bit binary float  while  1234567 005 in decimal system is encoded to 1234567 0049999998882413 in 64-bit binary float  It is worth noting that the maximum binary round-off error is dependent upon  1  the magnitude of the number and  2  the relative machine epsilon  2 -52   Double rounding Here  we use the toPrecision   method to strip the floating-point round-off errors in the intermediate calculations  Simply  we round to 15 significant figures to strip the round-off error at the 16th significant digit  This technique to preround the result to significant digits is also used by PHP 7

One way to achieve such a rounding only if necessary is to use Number prototype toLocaleString     myNumber toLocaleString  en    maximumFractionDigits 2  useGrouping false     This will provide exactly the output you expect  but as strings  You can still convert those back to numbers if that s not the data type you expect

FINAL UPDATE  Leaving this answer here for posterity  but I would recommend using  AmrAli s adaptation of the DecimalPrecision function  as it is equipped to handle exponential notation as well  I had originally sought to avoid any string conversion manipulation of any kind for performance reasons  but there is virtually no difference in performance with his implementation  EDIT 8 22 2020  I think it should be clarified here that the goal of these efforts is not to completely eliminate the inherent rounding errors caused by the floating point data type  as that will never be possible without switching to a data type that is actually storing the value as a base10  decimal   The goal really should be to push the inaccuracies as far out to the edge as possible  so that you can perform mathematical operations on a given value without producing the bug  The moment your value hits the absolute edge  where simply invoking the value would cause JS to produce the bug  either before or after you ve manipulated it  there s nothing more you could do to alleviate that  For example  if you instantiate the value 0 014999999999999999  JS will immediately round it to 0 015  Therefore if you passed that value to any of these functions  you are actually passing 0 015  At that point you couldn t even convert to string first and then manipulate it  the value would have to be instantiated as a string from the start for that to work  The goal  and only reasonable expectation  of any functions created to alleviate this bug is simply to allow for mathematical operations to be performed on floating point values while pushing the bug all the way out to the edge where either the starting value  or resulting value would produce the bug simply by being invoked anyway  The only other alternative solutions would be to store the whole numbers and decimal values independently  both as integers  so that they are only ever invoked as such  or to always store the value as a string and use a combination of string manipulation and integer based math to perform operations on it  After running through various iterations of all the possible ways to achieve true accurate decimal rounding precision  it is clear that the most accurate and efficient solution is to use Number EPSILON  This provides a true mathematical solution to the problem of floating point math precision  It can be easily polyfilled as shown here  https   developer mozilla org en-US docs Web JavaScript Reference Global Objects Number EPSILON to support all of the last remaining IE users  then again maybe we should stop doing that   Adapted from the solution provided here  https   stackoverflow com a 48850944 6910392 A simple drop in solution that provides accurate decimal rounding  flooring  and ceiling  with an optional precision variable without adding a whole library  05-19-2020 UPDATE  As Sergey noted in the comments  there is a limitation to this  or any  method that s worth pointing out  In the case of numbers like 0 014999999999999999  you will still experience inaccuracies which are the result of hitting the absolute edge of accuracy limitations for floating point value storage  There is no math or other solution that can be applied to account for that  as the value itself is immediately evaluated as 0 015  You can confirm this by simply invoking that value by itself in the console  Due to this limitation  it would not even be possible to use string manipulation to reduce this value  as its string representation is simply  quot 0 015 quot   Any solution to account for this would need to be applied logically at the source of the data before ever accepting the value into a script  eg restricting the character length of a field etc  That would be a consideration that would need to be taken into account on a case by case basis to determine the best approach  08-19-2020 UPDATE  Per Amr s comment  the ceil and floor functions will produce undesired results when the input value is an integer  This is due to the addition applied to the input with Number EPSILON in order to offset the expected float inaccuracy  The function has been updated to check if the input value is an integer and return the value unchanged  as that is the correct result of either function when applied to a whole number   Note  This issue also reveals that while the ceil and floor functions still require the application of the Number EPSILON adjustment  they do produce undesirable results when applied to a value where the number of decimals in the input number is lower than the number of decimals requested for the output  p   For example  ceil 17 1  5  should return 17 1 in relation to expected  quot ceil quot  function behavior when applied to whole numbers in mathematics  where all decimal places after  quot 1 quot  are assumed to be 0  To correct for this  I ve added an additional function check to identify if the number of decimals in the input number is lower than the requested output decimals  and return the number unchanged  just as with whole numbers   x000D   x000D  var DecimalPrecision    function            if  Number EPSILON     undefined

A slight variation on this is if you need to format a currency amount as either being a whole amount of currency or an amount with fractional currency parts   For example   1 should output  1  1 1 should output  1 10  1 01 should output  1 01  Assuming amount is a number   const formatAmount    amount    gt  amount   1     0   amount   amount toFixed 2    If amount is not a number then use parseFloat amount  to convert it to a number

This question is complicated   Suppose we have a function  roundTo2DP num   that takes a float as an argument and returns a value rounded to 2 decimal places  What should each of these expressions evaluate to    roundTo2DP 0 014999999999999999  roundTo2DP 0 0150000000000000001  roundTo2DP 0 015    The  obvious  answer is that the first example should round to 0 01  because it s closer to 0 01 than to 0 02  while the other two should round to 0 02  because 0 0150000000000000001 is closer to 0 02 than to 0 01  and because 0 015 is exactly halfway between them and there is a mathematical convention that such numbers get rounded up    The catch  which you may have guessed  is that roundTo2DP cannot possibly be implemented to give those obvious answers  because all three numbers passed to it are the same number  IEEE 754 binary floating point numbers  the kind used by JavaScript  can t exactly represent most non-integer numbers  and so all three numeric literals above get rounded to a nearby valid floating point number  This number  as it happens  is exactly  0 01499999999999999944488848768742172978818416595458984375  which is closer to 0 01 than to 0 02   You can see that all three numbers are the same at your browser console  Node shell  or other JavaScript interpreter  Just compare them     0 014999999999999999     0 0150000000000000001 true  So when I write m   0 0150000000000000001  the exact value of m that I end up with is closer to 0 01 than it is to 0 02  And yet  if I convert m to a String       var m   0 0150000000000000001    console log String m    0 015   var m   0 014999999999999999    console log String m    0 015      I get 0 015  which should round to 0 02  and which is noticeably not the 56-decimal-place number I earlier said that all of these numbers were exactly equal to  So what dark magic is this   The answer can be found in the ECMAScript specification  in section 7 1 12 1  ToString applied to the Number type  Here the rules for converting some Number m to a String are laid down  The key part is point 5  in which an integer s is generated whose digits will be used in the String representation of m      let n  k  and s be integers such that k   1  10k-1   s  lt  10k  the Number value for s    10n-k is m  and k is as small as possible  Note that k is the number of digits in the decimal representation of s  that s is not divisible by 10  and that the least significant digit of s is not necessarily uniquely determined by these criteria    The key part here is the requirement that  k is as small as possible   What that requirement amounts to is a requirement that  given a Number m  the value of String m  must have the least possible number of digits while still satisfying the requirement that Number String m       m  Since we already know that 0 015     0 0150000000000000001  it s now clear why String 0 0150000000000000001       0 015  must be true   Of course  none of this discussion has directly answered what roundTo2DP m  should return  If m s exact value is 0 01499999999999999944488848768742172978818416595458984375  but its String representation is  0 015   then what is the correct answer - mathematically  practically  philosophically  or whatever - when we round it to two decimal places   There is no single correct answer to this  It depends upon your use case  You probably want to respect the String representation and round upwards when    The value being represented is inherently discrete  e g  an amount of currency in a 3-decimal-place currency like dinars  In this case  the true value of a Number like 0 015 is 0 015  and the 0 0149999999    representation that it gets in binary floating point is a rounding error   Of course  many will argue  reasonably  that you should use a decimal library for handling such values and never represent them as binary floating point Numbers in the first place   The value was typed by a user  In this case  again  the exact decimal number entered is more  true  than the nearest binary floating point representation    On the other hand  you probably want to respect the binary floating point value and round downwards when your value is from an inherently continuous scale - for instance  if it s a reading from a sensor   These two approaches require different code  To respect the String representation of the Number  we can  with quite a bit of reasonably subtle code  implement our own rounding that acts directly on the String representation  digit by digit  using the same algorithm you would ve used in school when you were taught how to round numbers  Below is an example which respects the OP s requirement of representing the number to 2 decimal places  only when necessary  by stripping trailing zeroes after the decimal point  you may  of course  need to tweak it to your precise needs          Converts num to a decimal string  if it isn t one already  and then rounds it    to at most dp decimal places        For explanation of why you d want to perform rounding operations on a String    rather than a Number  see http   stackoverflow com a 38676273 1709587        param   number string   num     param  number  dp     return  string      function roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes  num  dp        if  arguments length    2  throw new Error  2 arguments required         num   String num       if  num indexOf  e       -1               Can t round numbers this large because their string representation            contains an exponent  like 9 99e 37         throw new Error  num too large              if  num indexOf         -1               Nothing to do         return num             var parts   num split               beforePoint   parts 0           afterPoint   parts 1           shouldRoundUp   afterPoint dp   gt   5          finalNumber       afterPoint   afterPoint slice 0  dp       if   shouldRoundUp            finalNumber   beforePoint         afterPoint        else if    9    test afterPoint                If we need to round up a number like 1 9999  increment the integer            before the decimal point and discard the fractional part          finalNumber   Number beforePoint  1        else              Starting from the last digit  increment digits until we find one            that is not 9  then stop         var i   dp-1          while  true                if  afterPoint i      9                     afterPoint   afterPoint substr 0  i                                  0                                 afterPoint substr i 1                   i--                else                   afterPoint   afterPoint substr 0  i                                  Number afterPoint i     1                                 afterPoint substr i 1                   break                                   finalNumber   beforePoint         afterPoint                Remove trailing zeroes from fractional part before returning     return finalNumber replace  0             Example usage     roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 1 6  2   1 6    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 10000  2   10000    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 0 015  2   0 02    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes  0 015000   2   0 02    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 1  1   1    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes  0 015   2   0 02    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 0 01499999999999999944488848768742172978818416595458984375  2   0 02    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes  0 01499999999999999944488848768742172978818416595458984375   2   0 01   The function above is probably what you want to use to avoid users ever witnessing numbers that they have entered being rounded wrongly    As an alternative  you could also try the round10 library which provides a similarly-behaving function with a wildly different implementation    But what if you have the second kind of Number - a value taken from a continuous scale  where there s no reason to think that approximate decimal representations with fewer decimal places are more accurate than those with more  In that case  we don t want to respect the String representation  because that representation  as explained in the spec  is already sort-of-rounded  we don t want to make the mistake of saying  0 014999999   375 rounds up to 0 015  which rounds up to 0 02  so 0 014999999   375 rounds up to 0 02    Here we can simply use the built-in toFixed method  Note that by calling Number   on the String returned by toFixed  we get a Number whose String representation has no trailing zeroes  thanks to the way JavaScript computes the String representation of a Number  discussed earlier in this answer           Takes a float and rounds it to at most dp decimal places  For example           roundFloatNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 1 2345  3        returns 1 234       Note that since this treats the value passed to it as a floating point    number  it will have counterintuitive results in some cases  For instance             roundFloatNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes 0 015  2        gives 0 01 where 0 02 might be expected  For an explanation of why  see    http   stackoverflow com a 38676273 1709587  You may want to consider using the    roundStringNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes function there instead         param  number  num     param  number  dp     return  number      function roundFloatNumberWithoutTrailingZeroes  num  dp        var numToFixedDp   Number num  toFixed dp       return Number numToFixedDp

You could also override the Math round function to do the rounding correct and add a parameter for decimals and use it like  Math round Number  Decimals   Keep in mind that this overrides the built in component Math round and giving it another property then it original is   var round   Math round  Math round   function  value  decimals      decimals   decimals    0    return Number round value    e    decimals     e-    decimals       Then you can simply use it like this   Math round 1 005  2     https   jsfiddle net k5tpq3pd 3

I still don t think anyone gave him the answer to how to only do the rounding if needed  The easiest way I see to do it is to check if there is even a decimal in the number  like so   var num   3 21  if    num     indexOf       gt   0       at least assert to string first           whatever code you decide to use to round

2017 Just use native code  toFixed    number   1 2345  number toFixed 2      1 23    If you need to be strict and add digits just if needed it can use replace  number   1      1  number toFixed 5  replace     0   g

The big challenge on this seemingly simple task is that we want it to yield psychologically expected results even if the input contains minimal rounding errors to start with  not mentioning the errors which will happen within our calculation   If we know that the real result is exactly 1 005  we expect that rounding to two digits yields 1 01  even if the 1 005 is the result of a large computation with loads of rounding errors on the way   The problem becomes even more obvious when dealing with floor   instead of round    For example  when cutting everything away after the last two digits behind the dot of 33 3  we would certainly not expect to get 33 29 as a result  but that is what happens    x000D   x000D  console log Math floor 33 3   100    100  x000D   x000D   x000D    In simple cases  the solution is to perform calculation on strings instead of floating point numbers  and thus avoid rounding errors completely  However  this option fails at the first non-trivial mathematical operation  including most divsions   and it is slow   When operating on floating point numbers  the solution is to introduce a parameter which names the amount by which we are willing to deviate from the actual computation result  in order to output the psychologically expected result    x000D   x000D  var round   function num  digits   2  compensateErrors   2    x000D    if  num  lt  0    x000D      return -this round -num  digits  compensateErrors   x000D      x000D    const pow   Math pow 10  digits   x000D    return  Math round num   pow    1   compensateErrors   Number EPSILON     pow   x000D    x000D   x000D     --- testing ---    x000D   x000D  console log  Edge cases mentioned in this thread    x000D  var values     0 015  1 005  5 555  156893 145  362 42499999999995  1 275  1 27499  1 2345678e 2  2 175  5 015  58 9   0 15    x000D  values forEach  n    gt    x000D    console log n     - gt      round n    x000D    console log -n     - gt      round -n    x000D      x000D   x000D  console log   nFor numbers which are so large that rounding cannot be performed anyway within computation precision  only string-based computation can help    x000D  console log  Standard      round 1e 19    x000D  console log  Compensation   1      round 1e 19  2  1    x000D  console log  Effectively no compensation      round 1e 19  2  0 4    x000D   x000D   x000D    Note  Internet Explorer does not know Number EPSILON  If you are in the unhappy position of still having to support it  you can use a shim  or just define the constant yourself for that specific browser family

You should use   Math round  num   100   Number EPSILON     100   No one seems to be aware of Number EPSILON   Also it s worth noting that this is not a JavaScript weirdness like some people stated   That is simply the way floating point numbers works in a computer  Like 99  of programming languages  JavaScript doesn t have home made floating point numbers  it relies on the CPU FPU for that  A computer uses binary  and in binary  there isn t any numbers like 0 1  but a mere binary approximation for that  Why  For the same reason than 1 3 cannot be written in decimal  its value is 0 33333333    with an infinity of threes   Here come Number EPSILON  That number is the difference between 1 and the next number existing in the double precision floating point numbers  That s it  There is no number between 1 and 1   Number EPSILON   EDIT   As asked in the comments  let s clarify one thing  adding Number EPSILON is relevant only when the value to round is the result of an arithmetic operation  as it can swallow some floating point error delta   It s not useful when the value comes from a direct source  e g   literal  user input or sensor    EDIT  2019    Like  maganap and some peoples have pointed out  it s best to add Number EPSILON before multiplying   Math round    num   Number EPSILON     100     100   EDIT  december 2019    Lately  I use a function similar to this one for comparing numbers epsilon-aware   const ESPILON RATE   1   Number EPSILON   const ESPILON ZERO   Number MIN VALUE    function epsilonEquals  a   b       if   Number isNaN  a      Number isNaN  b           return false         if   a     0    b     0         return a  lt   b   EPSILON ZERO  amp  amp  b  lt   a   EPSILON ZERO         return a  lt   b   EPSILON RATE  amp  amp  b  lt   a   EPSILON RATE       My use-case is an assertion   data validation lib I m developing for many years   In fact  in the code I m using ESPILON RATE   1   4   Number EPSILON and EPSILON ZERO   4   Number MIN VALUE  four times the epsilon   because I want an equality checker loose enough for cumulating floating point error   So far  it looks perfect for me  I hope it will help

the proposed answers while generally correct doesn t consider the precision of the passed in number  which is not expressed as requirement in the original question  but may be a requirement in case of scientific application where 3 is different from 3 00  for example  as the number of decimal digits represents the precision of the instrument that have acquired the value or the accuracy of a calculation  In fact the proposed answers rounds 3 001 to 3 while by keeping the information about the precision of the number should be 3 00  below a function that takes in account that   x000D   x000D  function roundTo value  decimal    x000D   x000D      let absValue   Math abs value   x000D      let int   Math floor absValue  toString   length  x000D      let dec   absValue toString   length - int  x000D      dec -   Number isInteger absValue    0   1   x000D      return value toPrecision int   Math min dec  decimal    x000D     x000D    x000D   x000D   x000D

parseFloat  1 555   toFixed 2      Returns 1 55 instead of 1 56    1 55 is the absolute correct result  because there exists no exact representation of 1 555 in the computer  If reading 1 555 it is rounded to the nearest possible value   1 55499999999999994  64 bit float   And rounding this number by toFixed 2  results in 1 55   All other functions provided here give fault result  if the input is 1 55499999999999   Solution  Append the digit  5  before scanning to rounding up  more exact  rounding away from 0  the number  Do this only  if the number is really a float  has a decimal point    parseFloat  1 555   5   toFixed 2      Returns 1 56
