A method and circuit for store rounding a number wherein the guard bit and least significant bit of the number are selectively exchanged depending on the IEEE rounding mode to simplify the decision-making circuit. Zero detection logic is performed on the guard, round and sticky bit positions to determine if incrementing is required. An incrementer provided with the number and a guard bit, which may be the true guard bit or a predetermined constant value depending on the rounding mode, responds to the zero detection logic to increment the number from the guard bit position.
