FAQ
Why is 100000 written 壹拾萬元整 and not 拾萬元整?
On checks, remittance slips and receipts in Taiwan the leading 壹 (one) of 壹拾 is always written, so nobody can add a character in front and change the amount. Formal output keeps it; everyday numerals drop it as people normally do (100000 → 十萬).
How are zeros written?
Following Taiwan school textbooks and check-writing practice, a run of zeros in the middle is written as a single 零: 1001 is 壹仟零壹元整 and 100001000 is 壹億零壹仟. Zeros at the end of a group (萬, 億) are not written: 101000 is 壹拾萬壹仟.
When is 整 added, and how are cents written?
An amount that ends at 元 (dollars) or 角 (dimes) ends with 整 (“exactly”), e.g. 壹拾貳元參角整. An amount with 分 (cents) has no 整, e.g. 壹拾貳元參角肆分. When the dimes digit is zero, 零 is written: 12.05 is 壹拾貳元零伍分. Amounts go down to two decimal places.
Which is right: 參 or 叁, 元 or 圓?
Taiwan uses 參, which is what the tool writes, but both are understood when converting back. 元 and 圓 are equally valid on checks; pick either in the options.
How large can the number be? Are there rounding errors?
Up to 16 integer digits (9999 trillion, 9999兆) and 20 decimal places. Numbers are processed digit by digit as text, never as floating point, so there are no rounding errors.
What Chinese input can be converted back?
Formal (壹貳參) and everyday (一二三) numerals, 兩 and 〇, the 新臺幣 prefix, 元/圓/塊, 角/毛/分, 整 and 正, digits mixed with units such as 3萬5千, and colloquial forms like 一萬五 (15000) or 一塊五 (1.5). If a character cannot be read, the tool tells you which one.
Is the amount I type uploaded?
No. Everything is converted in your browser and never leaves your device.
