Choose whether the exact shelf price may move above or below your starting price. The register total is not rounded.

Percentage charges are calculated to the nearest cent one at a time, like a typical register. Penny-Free does not round the final total; it adjusts the shelf price so the exact total already ends in 0¢ or 5¢. Confirm your local tax rules before changing posted prices.

How it works
1. Pennies are going away
The mint has stopped making new pennies, and shops are running out of them. When a total ends in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, or 9 cents, somebody has to round, scrounge, or make change that no longer exists.
2. Move the price, not the total
Penny-Free never rounds your total. It nudges the shelf price by a few cents until the exact total — tax and all — already lands on 0¢ or 5¢. Nickels and up cover it, and no pennies change hands.
3. Works both directions
Start from a shelf price and find its penny-free neighbor, or start from the total you want to ring up and work backward to the shelf price that produces it. Set your local tax rate once and check any price in seconds.
