# Price Rule – Adjust By Percentage + Rounded to Nearest $0.25

Discount products or categories by a set percentage, and then round to the nearest $0.25. For example, if you want a product or category to be discounted by 20% and then rounded to the nearest $0.25, you will enter 20 into the AMOUNT and select Product Price / By Percentage round to nearest 25 cents under Price Rule Type.

**Example of How it Works:**

If an item costs **$10.00** and you give a **20% discount**:

- The raw discounted price is **$8.00**.
- Since $8.00 is already a multiple of $0.25, the price stays **$8.00**.
- If the math resulted in **$8.13**, the system would automatically round it to **$8.25**.

Note that if you do not specify any conditions in the rule (products, categories, etc..), the rule will apply to ALL items
