Tafqit for each Gulf currency
Writing an amount in Arabic words depends on the currency: riyal and dirham are masculine, halala is feminine, and the Kuwaiti and Bahraini dinar and the Omani rial have 1,000 subunits instead of 100. Each currency has its own page, already set up, so you only type the amount.
For numbers that are not money, such as quantities or contract clauses, use the number to words converter, which also explains the Arabic grammar rules.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the text on a cheque?
Yes. Each tafqit page offers the usual cheque wording ("فقط ... لا غير" / "... only"), but check your bank's own requirements before you sign.
Which Arabic spelling do you use for hundred?
مائة, the spelling common in banking and accounting. مئة is also correct.
Does the word counter store my text?
No. The text stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
What is tafqit?
Writing an amount out in words, the way it appears on cheques and invoices, like «خمسمائة ريال سعودي فقط لا غير». It makes the figure much harder to alter.
Does the word counter handle Arabic?
Yes. Arabic and English words are counted the same way, and you also get characters with and without spaces, which helps with limits on X and in forms.
Is anything I enter sent or stored?
No. Every calculation runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us or saved.
