English term or phrase: round the fare up to the next dollar amount
In Japan, tipping is an insult in any situation; but in China, giving 3% is expected at restaurants, while in Hong Kong, 10% to 15% is the norm if the gratuity isn't included in the bill. For taxis, you don't need to tip in China, but in Hong Kong, you should {round the fare up to the next dollar amount}.
把钱凑成整数？寻求准确的说法。

车费以整元计，遇小数向上（进位）取整
Explanation:
数学及财务中有所谓“向上取整、向下取整”之说，向上自然要进位，向下就得舍去。

我们日常中遇到此类问题，都会说直接说“向上取整”，或“小数进上去”，我倒不觉得是什么“专业”的东西，可能上面建议时，写得多了点儿，才会有这种感觉。
