Amount in Words Converter for Cheques and Invoices (PKR, English and Urdu)
Turn a number into words using Pakistani lakh and crore naming. Choose English, Urdu script or both, with rupees and paisa, for cheque and invoice wording.
How the South Asian numbering system is written
Numbers above 99,999 use lakh (100,000) and crore (10,000,000) instead of million. The tool groups digits from the right as 3, then 2, then 2 and so on, so 12500000 appears as 1,25,00,000.
| Figure | English | Urdu |
|---|---|---|
| 125 | One Hundred Twenty-Five | ایک سو پچیس |
| 1,250 | One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty | ایک ہزار دو سو پچاس |
| 125,000 | One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand | ایک لاکھ پچیس ہزار |
| 1,250,000 | Twelve Lakh Fifty Thousand | بارہ لاکھ پچاس ہزار |
| 12,500,000 | One Crore Twenty-Five Lakh | ایک کروڑ پچیس لاکھ |
Convention used: tens and units are joined with a hyphen (Twenty-Five), no word and is placed between hundreds and tens, and each part is capitalised. Urdu has a separate word for every number from 0 to 99, so the tool uses a full lookup table instead of rules.
Financial amount or invoice number?
Financial amount mode reads 125000.50 as Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand and Fifty Paisa Only. Invoice number mode reads INV 100245 style digits one by one and never adds currency. Do not use an invoice number mode for money.
Limits and accuracy
- Whole rupee part up to 14 digits.
- Paisa are read from two decimal places. Money is parsed from text, not stored as a floating point number, so values like 0.1 stay exact.
- Negative values and non-numeric input are rejected.
- Invoice numbers up to 30 digits. Letters and symbols are not converted.
