Full Description
Converting cents to dollars seems easy, but doing it repeatedly in spreadsheets or while reconciling reports can be tedious. This calculator keeps the math and formatting consistent, especially when you need to paste totals into accounting software or proposals.
The tool supports negative values, which helps when processing refunds or adjustments. The breakdown separates whole dollars from leftover cents so you can double-check coin rolls or cash drawer balances quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it handle very large numbers?
Yes. As long as the number fits within JavaScript’s numeric limits (about 9e15 for exact integers), it will convert accurately.
Can I change the currency symbol?
The display uses your browser’s locale to format currency. For other currencies, divide by 100 manually and format in your preferred tool.
How are negative values shown?
Negative cents display with a minus sign, following standard accounting presentation.
Does it round to the nearest cent?
Yes. Dollar formatting rounds to two decimals, while the raw decimal value keeps up to six digits so you can audit the conversion.
