Questions

How do I write an amount in words on a cheque?

Choose the currency, type the amount and tick “Add Only at the end”. Write the words exactly as shown, for example “One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars and Fifty Cents Only”. The word “Only” stops anyone adding to the amount.

Which currencies does it support?

US dollars, euros, British pounds, UAE dirhams, Saudi riyals, Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani rupees, Bangladeshi taka, Australian, Canadian and Singapore dollars, Swiss francs, Japanese yen and Chinese yuan. Choose “No currency” to convert a plain number.

What is the difference between millions and lakhs?

The international system groups digits in threes: thousand, million, billion. The South Asian system uses lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000). So 1,500,000 is “One Million Five Hundred Thousand” or “Fifteen Lakh”. You can switch between the two.

Should I write “and” in the words?

British and Commonwealth usage writes “One Hundred and Five”. American usage usually writes “One Hundred Five”. Both are understood; the “and” option lets you choose.

How large a number can it convert?

Up to 21 digits before the decimal point (hundreds of quintillions). Amounts in a currency are rounded to its smallest unit, for example two decimal places for dollars and none for yen.

Is my number sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or stored.
