You probably should not use floats for money. Generally it's a good idea to use integers, as you wont get any rounding errors on addition / subtraction. — lucas clemente, May 15 '12 at 11:58

I assume you want a NSString with your number:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.02f", floatVal];

No my float number now is 1.555555 i want it to be like 1.55 only – user1392981 May 15 '12 at 11:57
So you want your float changed? floatVal = ((int)(floatVal * 100)) / 100; but that's really ugly... – jimpic May 15 '12 at 12:02
