About this tool

The converter uses the short scale (a billion is one thousand million) and hyphenates compounds such as thirty-four. Decimals are read digit by digit after "point". Numbers up to the quintillions are supported.

Always double-check legal and financial documents, since local conventions differ on words such as "and" after hundreds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include "and"?
It follows American style without "and" (one hundred twenty-three). Add it if your style guide requires British wording.
Can it convert currency?
It converts the number only. Add the currency name yourself, for example "dollars".
