Change Calculator

Work out the change you should get back. Enter what something costs and what you handed over, and the difference appears.

How it works

Change is the amount paid minus the price. The cents line shows the same figure as a whole number of cents, which is handy for counting coins.

If the amount paid is less than the price, the answer shows as a negative number, which means more money is still owed.

Worked example

For an item priced at $12.37 and paid with $20.00, the change due is $7.63, or 763 cents.

Questions

Does it show which bills and coins to hand back?

No. It shows the total change only. Count out the bills first, then the coins, from the largest value down.

Is the change exact?

Yes. It is the exact difference between the two amounts you typed, shown in cents as well.

What if I paid by card?

Card payments need no change. Enter the price as the amount paid, and the change is zero.
