First, assume I know NOTHING about Lotus.....Ok, now you know a little bit about me. I just got a job where payroll was done by hand using an adding machine (small 5 person office, thank goodness!). I decided to try and create a spreadsheet to calculate taxes, etc. In the spreadsheet I have gross wages as 21 dollars (for example). I've made a calculation to find federal tax, state tax, city tax, etc. I want to add these taxes up and find my Total Deductions. The problem is the numbers don't add up - I think I need to stop the rounding somehow. For instance, I'm multplying 21.00 x 7.63%, by 2.8% and by 1% for the different taxes. Then trying to add those three answers together for the Total Deductions. But the number is off by 1 cent. I'm using Lotus 123, version 5. Is there any way to stop this rounding?? Remember, I am very new at this - this is my 1st spreadsheet I've ever created - think like a dummy!! Thanks!
