Currency Format Generator

Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.

A currency format generator takes a plain number and shows how it is written as money in several major currencies and locales at once — US dollars, euros, British pounds, Japanese yen, Indian rupees, and Brazilian real. Each region has its own conventions for the symbol, the position of that symbol, the decimal mark, and the digit grouping, and getting them wrong looks unprofessional. Enter an amount and the tool formats it correctly for each locale using the browser's built-in internationalisation, so you can see at a glance that 1,234,567.89 becomes $1,234,567.89, 1.234.567,89 €, and ¥1,234,568. Developers use it to check how a value will render in different markets, designers to mock up pricing, and writers to format figures correctly in international copy. Everything runs locally in your browser. Use it as a quick reference for correct formatting rather than for live exchange rates, which it does not apply.

FAQ

does this convert between currencies

No. It formats the same numeric amount according to each locale's conventions; it does not apply exchange rates. The yen figure, for example, is the same number written the Japanese way, not the dollar amount converted into yen.

why does formatting differ between currencies

Each locale has its own rules: the United States uses a comma for thousands and a dot for decimals, much of Europe reverses them, and yen typically shows no decimal places. The tool applies the correct convention for each so the figure looks native.

how is the formatting produced

It uses the browser's built-in Intl.NumberFormat internationalisation, the same standard mechanism web apps use, so the output matches what users in each region expect to see in real software.
