Write an amount in Arabic words

Arabic Numbers writes an amount in words, the spelling used on cheques and contracts and called تفقيط. You type a number, pick a currency, and copy a line such as ألف وخمسمائة ريال سعودي وخمسون هللةً فقط لا غير. The grammar follows the currency you picked. The Egyptian pound, the Saudi riyal, the UAE dirham, the Kuwaiti and Bahraini dinars, the Qatari riyal, the Omani rial, the Jordanian dinar, the Moroccan dirham, the US dollar, the euro, and the pound sterling are built in. “No currency” spells the integer alone.

The rules that change the words are the ones people notice when a tool is wrong. One uses the singular noun and then واحد or واحدة: جنيه مصري واحد, and a feminine unit would take واحدة. Two uses the dual noun and no separate number word: جنيهان مصريان, ريالان سعوديان, هللتان. Three to ten take the plural, and the number word has the opposite gender of the noun: ثلاثة جنيهات مصرية, but ثماني هللات because هللة is feminine. Eleven to ninety-nine take a singular noun with accusative tanween: أحد عشر جنيهًا مصريًا, خمسون هللةً. Exact hundreds and thousands take a singular noun: مائة جنيه مصري, ألف ريال سعودي. Two hundred and two thousand drop the dual’s nūn when the noun follows immediately: مائتا ريال, ألفا ريال. If more of the number follows, the nūn stays: مائتان وخمسة جنيهات.

The fraction uses the currency’s minor unit and that unit’s gender. A pound has 100 قروش. A riyal has 100 هللات. A dirham has 100 فلوس. A Kuwaiti dinar, a Bahraini dinar, a Jordanian dinar, and an Omani rial have three decimal places: 1.234 dinars is one dinar and 234 fils, and 1.500 Omani rials is one rial and 500 baisa. Amounts under one are allowed, so 0.50 pounds is خمسون قرشًا فقط لا غير rather than an error. You can type Western digits or Arabic-Indic digits. ١٢٣٤٫٥٦ is the same amount as 1234.56.

Under the amount there is a separate box that converts digits in a sentence. “To Arabic digits” turns 2026 into ٢٠٢٦ and leaves the words around them. “To Western digits” does the reverse, and it also accepts Eastern Arabic-Indic digits ۰–۹. That box does not spell words. The amount box does not rewrite a whole letter, only the number you put in it.

1. Open Arabic Numbers.
2. Type the amount. Use a dot, or the Arabic decimal separator ٫, for the fraction. Commas can group thousands, as in 1,500.50. A single comma in 1,50 is read as a decimal point.
3. Choose the currency. Leave فقط لا غير checked for a cheque. Uncheck it if you want the words without the closing formula.
4. Read the line, then copy it. Half a riyal and fifty halalas should look right before you paste them into a contract.

Negative numbers are refused. More than 15 digits before the decimal are refused. A fraction with “no currency” is refused, because there is no minor unit to name. Extra decimal places round half up, so 1.995 Egyptian pounds becomes two pounds and the dual form, جنيهان مصريان.

It is not a lawyer and not a bank. It spells the number you typed with the grammar described above and in the guide. Read the result. A transposed digit is still your digit. Regional habit sometimes prefers مئة to مائة, or leaves the tanween off. This page uses مائة and writes the accusative tanween on the noun, because that is the form people check when they are asking whether the grammar is actually there.

The amount is spelled in the browser. It is not uploaded. Do not treat that as a reason to paste a full account number into the digit box if you do not need it converted.
