About the Invoice Currency Formatting Tool

Money is written differently almost everywhere, and an invoice that gets it wrong reads as careless before anybody has looked at the figures. The yen has no decimal places. The Kuwaiti dinar has three. Germany writes 1.234,56 € and Britain writes £1,234.56. India and Bangladesh group digits in pairs after the first three, so a million and a quarter is 12,34,567 rather than 1,234,567.

This tool formats any amount the way its own currency is written, for fifty currencies, and shows the alternatives side by side — symbol before or after, ISO code appended, accounting brackets for negatives, and the separator style the destination country uses.

It also writes the amount out in words, in the right scale: thousands and millions for most of the world, lakh and crore for the subcontinent, with the currency’s own unit names — rupees and paise, pounds and pence, taka and poisha. That line is expected on invoices across India, Bangladesh and the Gulf, and it is the thing that stops a figure being altered after it is signed.

Frequently asked questions

ISO 4217 assigns each one a number: two for most, none for the yen, Korean won, Chilean peso and Hungarian forint, and three for the Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Jordanian dinars and the Omani rial. Using two everywhere quietly misstates several of them.
