Rounding without add-on

You can read on the Gravity Forms community forum more about rounding without an add-on. This is no standard functionality in Gravity Forms for rounding, but with custom JavaScript/jQuery you can program your own solution if you want the rounding to happen in real time.

If real-time rounding is not necessary, you can also use the gform_field_validation filter to check the entered value or the gform_pre_submission filter to change the value after submission. Read more on the Gravity Forms forum.
