Can I include $5, $10, or $20 bills?

This tool tracks $1s plus coins. Add larger bills to the total dollars separately, or treat them as multiples of $1 when entering dollars.

Does this work for non-US currency?

It’s set up for US denominations. For other currencies, adjust counts or use a separate converter with your coin values.

Will this track rolling counts?

How to use this calculator

Enter counts of each coin and dollar bills.
We compute total cents and total dollars instantly.
Use the totals for rolling coins, depositing, or budgeting.

Inputs explained

Dollar bills: Number of $1 bills (enter 0 if none).
Quarters/Dimes/Nickels/Pennies: Counts of each coin type.

How it works

We multiply each denomination by its value (dollars × 100, quarters × 25, dimes × 10, nickels × 5, pennies × 1).

Totals are shown in cents and dollars for easy wrapping and depositing.

Formula

Total cents = dollars×100 + quarters×25 + dimes×10 + nickels×5 + pennies×1. Total dollars = total cents ÷ 100.
