Converters for numbers and amounts

Writing a large amount in words by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, especially when a cheque or legal document will be rejected for a single mistake. The Number to Words converter writes any number in words instantly, in the Pakistani system (lakh, crore, arab, kharab), the Indian system (lakh, crore) or the international system (million, billion).

What it can do

  • Write amounts with rupees and paisa, ready to copy onto a cheque or invoice.
  • Switch between the Pakistani, Indian and international number systems with one tap.
  • Use cheque style, such as "Rupees One Lakh Fifty Thousand Only".
  • Show the result in Title Case, UPPER CASE or Sentence case.

Cheque tips

On a cheque, start the words as far left as possible, end with "Only" and draw a line through any space left over so nothing can be added later. Make sure the words and the figures match exactly, because a bank can return a cheque when the two do not agree.

More converters for units, dates and currencies are on the way. If there is one you need, use the request form at the bottom of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between lakh and crore and million and billion?

They describe the same number in different groups. One lakh is 100,000 and one crore is 10,000,000, which is ten million in the international system. In Pakistan, 100 crore is also called one arab.

Can it write paisa?

Yes. Enter the amount with decimals, such as 1250.50, and the paisa are written after the rupees.
