Bangladeshi Taka Numbering System

Like Indian and Pakistani currencies, Bangladeshi Taka amounts are traditionally grouped using lakh (1,00,000) and crore (1,00,00,000) rather than thousand/million. This tool uses that lakh/crore wording (and digit grouping) for Taka to match local usage.

This lakh/crore grouping is shared across South Asia. See how it looks for Indian Rupee and Pakistani Rupee as well.

Taka and Poisha in Words

The whole-number part of an amount is spelled out and paired with the major unit — Taka for exactly one, or Taka otherwise. The decimal part (if any) is converted the same way and paired with the minor unit — Poisha for exactly one, or Poisha otherwise. This is the same format used on checks and formal documents, including a trailing "Only," which is standard practice to prevent anyone adding extra digits after the written amount.
