How to let the Navigation Bar (and maybe other stuff) end on the right

So I've got a problem with a navigation bar. I've set its width to 100%. But I would like to see the end, because it's got rounded corners...

So like this: | (=======) |

Not like it's now: | (==========|

    #nav {

      height: 60px;

      font-size: 30px;

      line-height: 60px;

      vertical-align: middle;

      text-align: center;

      background-color: #0080FF;

      width: 100%;

      border: 10px solid #16044E;

      border-radius: 20px;

      z-index: 1;

    }

    #nav ul {} #nav li {

      display: inline;

      text-align: center;

      margin: 20px;

    }

    #nav a {

      color: white;

      text-decoration: none;

    }
<ul id="nav">
  <li><a href="">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="">Courses</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="">Subjects</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="">Sign Up</a>
  </li>
  <li><a href="">Log In</a>
  </li>
</ul>

Add this to your #nav

box-sizing: border-box;

That will make your width: 100%; apply to the border part as well.

Change #nav as follows:

Change width: 100%; to width: auto;

Your #nav should look like this:

#nav {
    height: 60px;
    font-size: 30px;
    line-height: 60px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #0080FF;
    width: auto;
    border: 10px solid #16044E;
    border-radius: 20px;
    z-index: 1;
}

You can use calc to reduce 10px from the total width (10px = border-width) But you should try box-sizing:border-box as the browser support for calc is limited Caniuse

#nav {
    height: 60px;
    font-size: 30px;
    line-height: 60px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #0080FF;
    width: calc(100%-10px);
    border: 10px solid #16044E;
    border-radius: 20px;
    z-index: 1;
}

#nav ul {
}

#nav li {
    display: inline;
    text-align: center;
    margin: 20px;
}

#nav a {
    color: white;
    text-decoration: none;
}
<ul id="nav">
            <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Courses</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Subjects</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Sign Up</a></li>
            <li><a href="">Log In</a></li>
</ul>

You can use the calc() CSS function with a callback in case you need to support older browsers, here is the current support, and you have to add this to your #nav:

#nav{
    width: 98%;
    calc(100%-10px);
}

Another approach is changing the box-sizing of the #nav element, so the border will be part of the element width, you may have do update few rules in the CSS but it will work in IE8+, all mobile, and all modern browsers, here the caniuse:

#nav{
    padding-left: 10px;
    width: 100%;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
