Format a Number as Currency
Paste an amount and format it as money — choose the currency marker, decimal places, rounding, grouping style, separators and accounting signs. No exchange rates, just clean presentation.
Format money without changing currencies
Use this formatter when you already have a number and need a clean currency string for a table, invoice, spreadsheet export, fixture, README, or test case. It does not fetch exchange rates and it does not convert USD to EUR. It only formats the amount you paste: currency marker, placement, separators, decimal places, rounding and sign style.
Worked example
For a European-style EUR display, use the European EUR preset or set:
- Number:
1234.5 - Currency code or symbol:
EUR - Currency display:
code - Currency position:
after - Space between currency and number: on
- Decimal places:
2 - Group separator:
period - Decimal separator:
comma
The result is 1.234,50 EUR.
What the controls mean
Currency display chooses a known symbol (USD → $), the code itself (USD),
or no currency marker. Decimal places accepts 0 through 8 and rounds the
pasted digit string directly, so money cases such as 1.005 round predictably.
Digit grouping supports western thousands (1,234,567) and Indian lakh/crore
(12,34,567). Sign style covers normal minus signs, explicit plus signs,
aligned leading spaces, absolute values, and accounting parentheses.
Input rules and limits
The input can include common copied formatting: spaces, underscores, apostrophes,
commas or periods as grouping marks, currency affixes such as $1,234.50,
negative parentheses such as (1234.50), a trailing minus such as 1234.50-, or
scientific notation such as 1.5e3. If both . and , appear, the last one is
read as the decimal mark. A lone comma with exactly three digits after it is read
as grouping (1,234); otherwise it is a decimal comma (0,5). Outputs are plain
text and there is no locale database or exchange-rate lookup.
FAQ
Does this convert between currencies?
No. It is presentation-only. USD, EUR, INR and other codes only choose the
text or symbol that appears next to the number; the numeric amount is not changed.
Why does 1.005 round to 1.01 here?
The core rounds the decimal digits you typed rather than first converting them to
a binary floating-point number. That avoids the common money-formatting surprise
where 1.005 becomes 1.00 after naive float rounding.
Can I format Indian numbering such as lakhs and crores?
Yes. Set Digit grouping style to indian; 12345678 formats as
1,23,45,678 before the currency marker and fraction controls are applied.
When should I use accounting parentheses?
Use them for reports where negative amounts are shown as ($1,234.50) instead of
-$1,234.50. The option affects only negative values; zero and positives remain
unwrapped.
