Number Formatter

Number formatting adds visual structure to numbers using separators, decimal points, and symbols to make them easier to read. For example, 1000000 becomes 1,000,000 or 1.000.000 depending on locale. Proper formatting is essential for financial documents, international communication, and professional presentations.

Number formatting varies by country: US/UK use commas for thousands (1,234.56), many European countries use periods for thousands and commas for decimals (1.234,56), and some countries use spaces (1 234,56). Our formatter supports multiple locale-specific formats automatically.

Yes, our formatter supports currency formatting with proper symbols and decimal places. Convert numbers to formats like $1,234.56, €1.234,56, or £1,234.56. The tool handles currency symbols, positioning, and locale-specific conventions for accurate financial presentations.

Thousands separators are characters (usually commas, periods, or spaces) inserted every three digits to make large numbers more readable. For example, 1234567 with comma separators becomes 1,234,567. Different countries use different separators - our tool adapts to your chosen locale.

Scientific notation expresses very large or small numbers compactly, like 1.23×10⁶ for 1,230,000. Our formatter can convert standard numbers to scientific notation and vice versa, making it easy to work with astronomical numbers, microscopic measurements, or any values requiring exponential representation.

Yes, you can use our formatter to strip formatting and convert formatted numbers back to plain numeric values. This is useful when you need to process formatted data, import numbers into spreadsheets, or prepare numbers for calculations that require unformatted input.

Percentage formatting typically multiplies the number by 100 and adds a % symbol. For example, 0.15 becomes 15%. Different locales may format decimals differently (15.5% vs 15,5%), so using locale-aware formatting ensures correct presentation for your audience.

Accounting format aligns currency symbols and decimal points vertically, uses parentheses for negative numbers, and displays dashes for zeros. Financial format is similar but may use minus signs instead of parentheses. Both formats improve readability in financial statements and reports.

Abbreviated number formatting represents large numbers compactly: 1,200 becomes 1.2K, 1,000,000 becomes 1M, 1,000,000,000 becomes 1B. This is perfect for social media metrics, charts, and dashboards where space is limited and approximate values are sufficient.
