Full Description
Pennies add up quickly, but counting them into dollars takes time. This tool keeps the math consistent, especially when you’re reconciling fundraising jars, coin machines, or petty cash.
It supports negative numbers for corrections, and the breakdown helps you allocate coins into rolls or report partial amounts precisely.
Pair it with the nickels and dimes calculators to tally every denomination without grabbing a calculator.
