The calculator uses a greedy algorithm: starting from the largest bill, it takes as many as fit, then moves to the next smaller one. For standard currency systems this produces the fewest bills and coins possible.
Choose a preset currency or type your own denominations, useful for cash drawers with limited notes, arcade tokens, or classroom exercises.
Each row shows a denomination, how many of it you need, and its subtotal. The remainder line appears when the amount cannot be formed exactly, for example 3 cents with a smallest coin of 5 cents.
All math runs in whole cents internally to avoid floating-point rounding errors that plague money calculations.
