Default Simple math calculation - 50/50?

G14: $1500.39 - Total Due

G16: =(G14/2) - 50% Deposit

G18: =(G16-G14) - Balance Remaining

When G14 is an even number - no prob. However, when it's an odd number as
above:
G16: = $750.20
G18: = $750.20

How can I get this to balance properly? (G16: $750.20 and G18: $750.19)

In cell G16 type
=round(G14/2,2)
That will fix G18

G18: =G16-M7
