>I did hit that wall back in 1990. Morale of the story: keep the numbers in the format that accountants keep them. Never calculate anything twice. Store rounded. For percentage of the total, don't calculate it, sum the individual values of the percentage applied to each line item. It's less correct, but it adds up.
