How to write invoice amounts in English words

Proforma invoices, commercial invoices and letters of credit require the amount in words to cross-check the figures. The standard format is "SAY US DOLLARS TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND CENTS FIFTY ONLY" for USD 12,500.50. The trailing "Only" seals the amount against tampering.

Common mistakes: English has no "ไธ‡" unit โ€” 12,000 is Twelve Thousand, not "Twelve Thousand Hundred"; use "and" only between whole dollars and cents (or within hundreds); the words must match the digits exactly or banks treat it as a discrepancy under L/C.

Three formats, one click

This tool outputs the bank-standard Say Dollars format, a plain English reading for emails, and an ALL-CAPS version for printed documents โ€” all copyable, all calculated locally in your browser.

โ“ FAQ

Must the words be in all caps?

No, banks accept both. ALL CAPS is the customary style on documents; this tool generates it in one click.

How do you say $1,000,000?

One Million US Dollars. English scales by Thousand / Million / Billion, which is the most common conversion error for Chinese speakers.
