Number to Arabic words
Turn any amount into the Arabic words used on invoices and cheques: Saudi riyals and halalas, or a plain number. Everything is computed in your browser.
To spell an amount in Arabic words, enter it in the box and choose the form. The words appear immediately in the cheque convention that starts with "faqat" (only) and ends with "la ghayr" (no other), rounded to the nearest halala. It is free, needs no sign-up, and your numbers never leave your browser.
How to use it
Enter the amount and choose the form: a Saudi riyal amount with halalas, or a plain number. The words appear immediately, ready to copy into an invoice or a cheque. You can type Western digits 0-9 or Arabic-Indic digits ٠-٩.
When it helps
Cheques, vouchers, and formal invoices spell the amount out in words next to the figures to prevent ambiguity. Writing them out by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, with Arabic grammar for plurals and agreement. The tool produces the words ready to paste.
Common questions
What is the "faqat ... la ghayr" form?
It is the convention used on cheques and formal documents: the line starts with the word "faqat" (only) and ends with "la ghayr" (no other). The tool outputs it ready to paste.
How are the halalas handled?
The amount rounds to the nearest halala. In the currency form the halalas appear as words too, and in the plain-number form any fractional part reads digit by digit after the word for "point".
Does it read Arabic digits?
Yes. The box accepts Western digits 0-9, Arabic-Indic digits ٠-٩, and the Arabic decimal separator. The output is always Arabic words.
Is the amount sent anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your numbers are never uploaded, stored, or shared.
