Extension for Swift 2  A more general solution is the following extension  which works with Swift 2  amp  iOS 9   extension Double           Rounds the double to decimal places value     func roundToPlaces places Int  - gt  Double           let divisor   pow 10 0  Double places           return round self   divisor    divisor             Extension for Swift 3  In Swift 3 round is replaced by rounded   extension Double           Rounds the double to decimal places value     func rounded toPlaces places Int  - gt  Double           let divisor   pow 10 0  Double places           return  self   divisor  rounded     divisor            Example which returns Double rounded to 4 decimal places   let x   Double 0 123456789  roundToPlaces 4      x becomes 0 1235 under Swift 2 let x   Double 0 123456789  rounded toPlaces  4      Swift 3 version

You can use Swift s round function to accomplish this   To round a Double with 3 digits precision  first multiply it by 1000  round it and divide the rounded result by 1000   let x   1 23556789 let y   Double round 1000 x  1000  print y      1 236   Other than any kind of printf      or String format       solutions  the result of this operation is still of type Double   EDIT  Regarding the comments that it sometimes does not work  please read this    What Every Programmer Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic

If you want to round Double values  you might want to use Swift Decimal so you don t introduce any errors that can crop up when trying to math with these rounded values  If you use Decimal  it can accurately represent decimal values of that rounded floating point value    So you can do   extension Double           Convert  Double  to  Decimal   rounding it to  scale  decimal places                  - Parameters            - scale  How many decimal places to round to  Defaults to  0             - mode   The preferred rounding mode  Defaults to   plain           - Returns  The rounded  Decimal  value       func roundedDecimal to scale  Int   0  mode  NSDecimalNumber RoundingMode    plain  - gt  Decimal           var decimalValue   Decimal self          var result   Decimal           NSDecimalRound  amp result   amp decimalValue  scale  mode          return result           Then  you can get the rounded Decimal value like so   let foo   427 3000000002 let value   foo roundedDecimal to  2     results in 427 30   And if you want to display it with a specified number of decimal places  as well as localize the string for the user s current locale   you can use a NumberFormatter   let formatter   NumberFormatter   formatter maximumFractionDigits   2 formatter minimumFractionDigits   2  if let string   formatter string for  value        print string

This is a sort of a long workaround  which may come in handy if your needs are a little more complex  You can use a number formatter in Swift   let numberFormatter  NSNumberFormatter         let nf   NSNumberFormatter       nf numberStyle    DecimalStyle     nf minimumFractionDigits   0     nf maximumFractionDigits   1     return nf       Suppose your variable you want to print is   var printVar   3 567   This will make sure it is returned in the desired format   numberFormatter StringFromNumber printVar    The result here will thus be  3 6   rounded   While this is not the most economic solution  I give it because the OP mentioned printing  in which case a String is not undesirable   and because this class allows for multiple parameters to be set

With Swift 5  according to your needs  you can choose one of the 9 following styles in order to have a rounded result from a Double      1  Using FloatingPoint rounded   method  In the simplest case  you may use the Double rounded   method   let roundedValue1    0 6844   1000  rounded     1000 let roundedValue2    0 6849   1000  rounded     1000 print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      2  Using FloatingPoint rounded     method  let roundedValue1    0 6844   1000  rounded  toNearestOrEven    1000 let roundedValue2    0 6849   1000  rounded  toNearestOrEven    1000 print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      3  Using Darwin round function  Foundation offers a round function via Darwin   import Foundation  let roundedValue1   round 0 6844   1000    1000 let roundedValue2   round 0 6849   1000    1000 print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      4  Using a Double extension custom method built with Darwin round and pow functions  If you want to repeat the previous operation many times  refactoring your code can be a good idea   import Foundation  extension Double       func roundToDecimal   fractionDigits  Int  - gt  Double           let multiplier   pow 10  Double fractionDigits           return Darwin round self   multiplier    multiplier          let roundedValue1   0 6844 roundToDecimal 3  let roundedValue2   0 6849 roundToDecimal 3  print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      5  Using NSDecimalNumber rounding accordingToBehavior   method  If needed  NSDecimalNumber offers a verbose but powerful solution for rounding decimal numbers   import Foundation  let scale  Int16   3  let behavior   NSDecimalNumberHandler roundingMode   plain  scale  scale  raiseOnExactness  false  raiseOnOverflow  false  raiseOnUnderflow  false  raiseOnDivideByZero  true   let roundedValue1   NSDecimalNumber value  0 6844  rounding accordingToBehavior  behavior  let roundedValue2   NSDecimalNumber value  0 6849  rounding accordingToBehavior  behavior   print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      6  Using NSDecimalRound           function  import Foundation  let scale   3  var value1   Decimal 0 6844  var value2   Decimal 0 6849   var roundedValue1   Decimal   var roundedValue2   Decimal    NSDecimalRound  amp roundedValue1   amp value1  scale  NSDecimalNumber RoundingMode plain  NSDecimalRound  amp roundedValue2   amp value2  scale  NSDecimalNumber RoundingMode plain   print roundedValue1     returns 0 684 print roundedValue2     returns 0 685      7  Using NSString init format arguments   initializer  If you want to return a NSString from your rounding operation  using NSString initializer is a simple but efficient solution   import Foundation  let roundedValue1   NSString format     3f   0 6844  let roundedValue2   NSString format     3f   0 6849  print roundedValue1     prints 0 684 print roundedValue2     prints 0 685      8  Using String init format     initializer  Swift   s String type is bridged with Foundation   s NSString class  Therefore  you can use the following code in order to return a String from your rounding operation   import Foundation  let roundedValue1   String format     3f   0 6844  let roundedValue2   String format     3f   0 6849  print roundedValue1     prints 0 684 print roundedValue2     prints 0 685      9  Using NumberFormatter  If you expect to get a String  from your rounding operation  NumberFormatter offers a highly customizable solution   import Foundation  let formatter   NumberFormatter   formatter numberStyle   NumberFormatter Style decimal formatter roundingMode   NumberFormatter RoundingMode halfUp formatter maximumFractionDigits   3  let roundedValue1   formatter string from  0 6844  let roundedValue2   formatter string from  0 6849  print String describing  roundedValue1      prints Optional  0 684   print String describing  roundedValue2      prints Optional  0 685
