    Try DECIMAL(4,2) which would allow you to store -99.99 to 99.99

    MSDN documentation for DECIMAL.
    The 4 represents the precision which is the total number of digits that can be stored (to the left and right of the decimal place).
    The 2 represents the scale which is the number of digits that can appear after the decimal place.
