Have you ever rounded up a bill to make it even or just paid the exact amount? This could be any bill.

When I pay a restaurant bill with a credit card, I’ll either round up the tip over 20% (e.g., if the bill is $38.40, I’ll give an $8 tip), or I’ll make the tip 20% plus whatever amount it takes to round up the total bill ($37.16, then I’ll tip $7.84 to make the total $45).
If I paid cash in either of the above circumstances, then I’d leave an $8 tip.
When I pay any other bill, I pay the exact amount.
I am very much convinced with @Brian1946 answer. Me too pay extra while eating in Restaurant and if I pay any other bill, I pay exact amount.
If the exact change is not available then I buy something to make it a smaller denominations because if the amount is odd then I should get the exact change or else I have to face consequences (especially is local buses, trains, taxis or paying electricity bills because most of it owned by govt. and you might be aware how govt. officials work…)
I only round up restaurant bills because I figure it goes into the tip. For everything else I pay the exact amount.
I always round up to the nearest $10.There are always big credits on my utility bills which is what I want. If I go out of town and miss one I don’t have to worry about it. I’ve done this for 35 years.
When I pay bills, I use the exact amount. When I record it in my checkbook I round it up, that way I always have a little cushion in my account.
In a situation where tipping is necessitated I usually add the tip then round up the entire thing.
Full, exact, amount.
Restaurants I don’t consider a “bill” but if you are including things like restaurants and hair dressers, then I pay the full amount, plus a tip.
I pay the exact amount for all household bills/credit card bills.
