Rounding - Always Round Up

Question

Hi All,
Is there a way in T-SQL using the round command to always round up regadless of the value.
For example:ROUND(normal_hours * pay_rate * 52, - 3) AS Expr3
normal_hours = 36
pay rate = 23.64
weeks in year = 52
(36 * 23.64) * 52 = 44,254.08
It rounds to 44,000. I want 45,000.  Is this possible. Am I overlooking the obvious?
Thanks in Advance and Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!Adam
