Formula
Total Cash = ÎŁ (Denomination Value Ă— Quantity)
Example: 8 × $20 + 12 × $5 + 36 × $1 + 40 × 25¢ = $160 + $60 + $36 + $10 = $266
Track bill straps and coin rolls for faster bank deposits: a strap of $1 bills = $25, roll of quarters = $10.
This calculator uses standard U.S. denominations, but you can adapt the inputs to any currency by replacing labels and values with local equivalents.

By capturing the quantity of each denomination, you produce an auditable record that matches bank deposit slips and simplifies reporting. Managers can spot pattern discrepancies, like recurring shortages in a specific shift, and streamline cash handling training.
