We are trying to fix an issue where secondary-currency prices become incorrect after VAT is added. WPML currently converts prices before tax, and because we cannot enable rounding with VAT included, our NOK and EUR prices become non-rounded amounts (e.g., 23.2121 after tax), which causes incorrect totals.
According to your documentation, WooCommerce Multilingual should provide options such as:
“Calculate prices in each currency based on the store default including taxes”
Currency rounding rules
The modern multicurrency configuration UI
However, our installation only shows the old basic currency list and none of the advanced settings. It appears our site may still be using a legacy “independent” multicurrency mode.
We need guidance on:
Why the new multicurrency UI does not appear even though all plugins are up to date.
How to migrate or enable the correct multicurrency mode so that tax-inclusive conversions and rounding work.
We can provide screenshots or the full icl_sitepress_settings record if needed.
2) Tax prices and rounding issue - To better understand the problem, I’ve created a new test site. Please open the link below, configure your tax rules and multicurrency settings, and then let me know the exact steps you took and what result is incorrect. For example: “price is 1.3444 but should be 1.35.”
Thank you for getting back to us and for taking the time to reproduce the issue.
I’ve checked the calculations, and as I understand it, in the default language you have: 159.2 + 25% = 199 kr
In USD, the calculation is:
159.2 × 1.1 = 175.12 USD,
175.12 + 25% = 218.9 USD
From what I can see, this is working correctly.
What may be causing confusion is the multicurrency rounding settings for USD.
In the USD currency configuration, you can choose how prices should be rounded—or disable rounding completely. For example, I temporarily set it to round to the nearest integer and disabled any subtract, which results in a final price of 220 USD.
You can either disable rounding if you want the exact calculated value, or adjust the rounding rules to match your preference.

Let me know if this helps and makes things clear or you have any other doubts.
Hi.
The price for the product i base currency
159,2 + tax 25% = 199
With WCML i would like to keep a nice looking price without getting a decimal.
Its not that important how it rounds as long as i understand how it does it. And make it after tax.
So my thought price 159,2 x 1.1 = 175.12 = 218,9 ( this is the ammount we think should be adjusted and the rounding should be based on ) Makes no sense to do that before tax since that will end up getting "bad looking pricing".
I understand that rounding is applied after tax, and why this matters — it can result in a slightly higher and incorrect price in the secondary currency.
You mentioned: "With WCML I would like to keep a nice-looking price without getting a decimal."
Just to clarify: rounding and decimal behavior can still be controlled from the WCML settings. You can choose to display prices without decimals and rounding them, and they will appear clean and rounded.
Here’s a video demonstrating this:

Please let me know if this makes sense and helps clarify the situation and if you have any further questions. If so, I will proceed with escalating the request regarding rounding after tax and not before the tax.
Regarding the other point: you mentioned that you expect the price not to be 218 USD, but instead 220 USD. However, this is actually what is happening now — the price is being rounded to 220 USD.
I apologize for asking so many questions — I just want to fully understand your expectations so that I can escalate this properly. I understand the part about rounding after tax, and that makes sense, but the expected rounding behavior itself is still not completely clear to me.
For example, if rounding happens after tax:
What would you expect the final price to round to from 218.9 USD?
Based on the current rounding method (“round to nearest up”), this should result in 219 USD.
Could you please clarify what you expect in that scenario?
Hi.
No worries, we also want to get hit solved. So happy to answer 🙂
And yes on the demo site i seems like i am now looking at a price without any decimals.
However on my live site when i apply the same rules i get a price that is 218,75.
Also on the demo site with a product that cost 160 without vat = 200 inc VAT.
Now with USD set to 1.1 = product 220USD with the rounding function set to 10. If i autosubtract ammount it does not work as expected 223,75$ now?
I cant figure out this function or how to set it up.
Would it be possible to have a live chat that i can send you some printscreens etc?
