Money counter: count bills and coins by denomination to calculate your total cash

Enter the quantity of each bill and coin denomination to instantly calculate the total value of your cash on hand. Supports US Dollar, British Pound, and Euro denominations.

How it works

Enter the number of each denomination you have. The calculator multiplies each quantity by its face value and sums the result. It also shows how many total bills and coins you have.

Use cases

Cash register reconciliation at end of shift. Counting tips or collected cash. Preparing bank deposits. Teaching children about money and denominations. Verifying change fund balances.

Tips for accuracy

Sort coins and bills by denomination before counting. Count each denomination twice to verify. For large amounts, count in stacks of 10 or 25. Use coin wrappers for bank deposits. The extra explanation keeps the page useful for searchers who need to understand not just the number, but also the assumption set behind it.

Many small businesses, restaurants, and market vendors still handle significant cash. End-of-day register reconciliation, tip pooling, and bank deposit preparation all require accurate counting.

What is a cash drawer count sheet?

A standardised form listing each denomination with spaces for quantity and subtotal. This calculator serves the same purpose digitally, with automatic totalling.

How accurate is this calculator?
