Number to words converter
Documents with legal force require the amount in words, precisely because a figure is easy to alter. Enter the number and get it written out correctly.
On official documents the amount in words is written without large gaps, or with a line drawn after it, so nothing can be added later.
Frequently asked questions
Do I write hyphens?
Yes, English compound numbers from 21 to 99 take a hyphen: twenty-one, forty-seven, ninety-nine.
Is 'and' needed?
British usage inserts 'and' before the tens in a hundred: one hundred and five. American usage usually drops it, and this tool follows the American form.
How do I write an amount with cents?
The usual format is 'one thousand two hundred thirty-four and 50/100', with the cents kept as a fraction on legal documents.
