Andrew, you're making a classic error... you are doing traditional rounding to 3 places before you are attempting the bankers rounding....Just like the example of 3.445657545 being rounded to 3.45...--Jeff Moden

AND, dont' feel too alone on that MONEY v.s. DECIMAL thing... I just changed to the DECIMAL data type on my attempted code and ALL the answers became 3.45

Ryan,
Your code works great so long as the MONEY data type is used to hold the number and is probably appropriate for the Banker's Rounding problem because one must assume...

Ryan, You are correct. It doesn't work correctly for 3.445657545.
It rounds to 3.44 instead of 3.45 as you stated. Thanks for the catch...--Jeff Moden

RE: Banker''''s rounding in T-SQL (like Math.Round in .NET)
Andrew... This also works... and, it's set based.... just substitute a column name for @Number in the formula...
-- Math.Round(3.454,2) -> 3.45
-- Math.Round(3.455,2) -> 3.46
-- Math.Round(3.445,2) -> 3.44
-- Math.Round(3.456,2)...

If you mean round to the nearest whole number, then simply converting to INT will do...
DECLARE @Amount1 MONEY
SET @Amount1 = 7.49
DECLARE @Amount2 MONEY
SET @Amount2 = 7.50
DECLARE...

You are new at this...
Try this, Josh...
UPDATE yourtable

Paid = RTRIM(SUBSTRING(Subject,CHARINDEX('#',Subject,1),
CHARINDEX('$',Subject,1)-CHARINDEX('#',Subject,1))),

FROM yourtable
And, let's hope...
