Hi Bhanu,

Yes, you are right. I didn't cover the delete scenario. Try this new code.
trigger HighestAmountContact on Contact (after insert,after update, after delete) {
    List<Account> updAcc = new List<Account>();
    Map<id,account> mapacc = new Map<id,account>( [select id,name,Amount__c,(select id,Amount__c from contacts) from account]);
    if(Trigger.isDelete) {
        List<Contact> oldContatcs = Trigger.Old;
        for(Contact con: oldContatcs) {
        	Id accID = con.AccountID;
            Decimal highAmnt = 0;
            Account acc = mapacc.get(accID);
            for(Contact c: acc.Contacts) {
                if(highAmnt < c.Amount__c ) {
                    highAmnt = c.Amount__c;
                }
            }
            acc.Amount__c = highAmnt;
            updAcc.add(acc);
        }
        update updAcc;
    }
    if(Trigger.isInsert || Trigger.isUpdate) {
        List<Contact> newContacts = Trigger.New;
        for(Contact con: newContacts) {
            Id accID = con.AccountID;
            Decimal highAmnt = con.Amount__c;
            if(highAmnt == null) {
                highAmnt = 0;
            }
            Account acc = mapacc.get(accID);
            for(Contact c: acc.Contacts) {
                if(highAmnt < c.Amount__c ) {
                    highAmnt = c.Amount__c;
                }
            }
            acc.Amount__c = highAmnt;
            updAcc.add(acc);
        }    
        update updAcc;
    }
    
}

Hi Bhanu,

Try the below code:
trigger HighestAmountContact on Contact (after insert,after update) {
    List<Contact> newContacts = Trigger.New;
    List<Account> updAcc = new List<Account>();
    Map<id,account> mapacc = new Map<id,account>( [select id,name,Amount__c,(select id,Amount__c from contacts) from account]);
    for(Contact con: newContacts) {
        Id accID = con.AccountID;
        Decimal highAmnt = con.Amount__c;
        if(highAmnt == null) break;
        Account acc = mapacc.get(accID);
        for(Contact c: acc.Contacts) {
            if(highAmnt < c.Amount__c ) {
                highAmnt = c.Amount__c;
            }
        }
        acc.Amount__c = highAmnt;
        updAcc.add(acc);
    }
    update updAcc;
}

Hope this helps.
