How numbers are written in words

English rules

Standard US style is applied: numbers from 21 to 99 are hyphenated (twenty-one, ninety-nine), and no “and” is used after “hundred” (one hundred fifty, one thousand two hundred fifty).

Decimals in check format

Cents are written as a fraction of 100 (“and 50/100”), the usual format on checks and invoices. They are rounded to two decimal places.

Supported range

Converts numbers from 0 to 999,999,999,999, including negatives. Accepts a period or a comma as the thousands or decimal separator.

What is converting numbers to words used for?

Writing amounts in words prevents mistakes and tampering:

✓

Checks: the amount in words is the one that prevails if it doesn't match the amount written in numbers.

✓

Invoices and receipts: many regulations require the total in words as well.

✓

Contracts and promissory notes: amounts in words prevent them from being altered by adding digits.

✓

Schoolwork: check how numbers are correctly written in words.

Tips for writing amounts in words

💡

On checks, write the amount in words using the whole line and finish with a line so nothing can be added.

💡

Turn on uppercase for formal documents: it's harder to alter.

💡

Add the currency yourself if you need it, for example “dollars” or “euros”, because it varies by country.

💡

Always check that the figure and the text match before signing.
