Amount to Words Converter

How to Convert Amounts to Words?

Converting currency amounts to words is essential for writing checks, legal documents, and financial contracts. This tool:

1. Supports Multiple Currencies: Convert amounts in USD, EUR, GBP, and many other currencies.
2. Handles Decimals: Properly converts both the major unit (dollars, euros, pounds) and minor unit (cents, pence).
3. Multiple Languages: Get results in English, German, or French based on your preference.

This is essential for check writing, invoicing, contracts, and official documentation.

Amount Conversion Rules

1. Major and Minor Units

Each currency has a major unit (dollar, euro, pound) and a minor unit (cent, penny). The tool converts both parts separately and combines them with 'and'.

2. Decimal Handling

Amounts support up to 2 decimal places. For example: $123.45 = one hundred twenty-three dollars and forty-five cents.

3. Singular and Plural

The tool automatically uses singular or plural forms based on the amount. 1 dollar vs. 2 dollars, 1 cent vs. 2 cents.

4. Zero Handling

If the decimal part is zero, only the major unit is shown. $100.00 = one hundred dollars (not 'and zero cents').

5. Whole Numbers

For whole dollar amounts without decimals, enter just the number (e.g., 100) or with .00 (e.g., 100.00).

6. Currency Symbols

You can enter amounts with or without currency symbols. Both $123.45 and 123.45 are valid inputs.

Conversion Examples

$1.00 = one dollar

$5.50 = five dollars and fifty cents

$25.99 = twenty-five dollars and ninety-nine cents

$100.00 = one hundred dollars

$1,234.56 = one thousand two hundred thirty-four dollars and fifty-six cents

£999.99 = nine hundred ninety-nine pounds and ninety-nine pence

€10,000.00 = ten thousand euros

$1,000,000.00 = one million dollars
