About the Number to Words Converter
Convert a figure into written words in either the international system (million, billion) or the South Asian system (lakh, crore), which matters when writing cheques and invoices in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.
Currency mode adds the unit and the sub-unit — rupees and cents, dollars and cents — and the cheque button appends the word ONLY the way banks expect.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the two systems?
The international system groups digits in threes (1,000,000 = one million). The South Asian system groups after the first three (10,00,000 = ten lakh).
How should I write an amount on a cheque?
Words first, ending with the word ONLY, for example: One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand Rupees Only.
