RMB Amount in Words
Convert amounts to Chinese financial uppercase following accounting rules — zero handling, jiao/fen conventions and rounding — plus the value in fen.

How to Use
- Enter the amount
Digits only — thousands commas and spaces are ignored. Negative values are rejected since the uppercase form carries no sign.
- Read the result
The large line is the standard form; the line below it adds the 人民币 prefix, ready for invoices and contracts.
- Check the breakdown
The breakdown lists yi, wan, unit, jiao and fen separately, so comparing it against the text pinpoints which zero went wrong.
FAQ
Why write amounts in words at all?
To prevent tampering. 壹佰元整 is very hard to alter without leaving a trace, whereas 100 gains a stroke and becomes 1000 or 700. That is why invoices, contracts and cheques require the uppercase form, and when the two disagree the uppercase wins.
When is 零 written and when omitted?
Three rules: a run of zeros collapses to one; trailing zeros in each section (yi, wan, unit) are dropped; a leading zero inside a section is written when something nonzero precedes it. So 10001 is 壹万零壹, 1000000 is 壹佰万, and 100010000 is 壹亿零壹万.
Does jiao without fen need 整?
Yes. The convention is that when the amount stops at jiao, 整 (or 正) may follow it. So 100.5 is 壹佰元伍角整 and so is 100.50. Only when fen is nonzero does 整 disappear, as in 100.56 → 壹佰元伍角陆分.
What happens with more than two decimals?
It rounds to fen at the third digit, so 1.005 becomes 1.01 and the page says so. That is the usual accounting behaviour, but if your settlement rule truncates instead, pre-truncate the value before entering it.
