Save without thinking—literally

Saving money is easier said than done. With bills, daily expenses, and the occasional splurge, it feels impossible to set extra cash aside. What if there was a way you could save money without even thinking about it?

That’s exactly what automated round-up savings tools do. These tools work behind the scenes, rounding up your everyday purchases to the nearest dollar and stashing the spare change into a separate checking or savings account. Over time, these small amounts add up, helping you set aside money without any extra effort.

How do round-up savings tools work?

Round-up savings tools are offered through banks and banking platforms differently. At Percapita, when you opt-in to our Penny Jar feature, we’ll automatically round up every purchase to the nearest dollar and store your spare change in your Goals or Needs Account. For example, if you buy a coffee for $3.75, Penny Jar rounds it up to $4.00 and deposits $0.25 into the account that stores your savings.
If you’re struggling to set aside money manually, this method of saving is seamless and happens in the background.

Why round-up savings work?
  • Effortless & automaticBecause round-up savings happen passively, you don’t have to make a conscious decision to save—it just happens.
  • Small amounts add upA few cents per transaction doesn’t seem like much, but these small contributions add up over time. If you make 50 purchases a month and each rounds up by an average of $0.50, that’s already $25 in savings.
  • No impact on your lifestyleUnlike traditional budgeting methods that require cutting back, round-up savings allow you to save without changing your spending habits.
  • Perfect for emergency funds or specific goalsThese savings can serve as an emergency fund, travel fund, or for larger goals, like buying a house. Percapita customers can create a companion account and name it to match the goal they’re striving for.
