How to use the Koala

Koala is like your friendly financial translator! Here's what it can understand:

All these examples are fully interactive! Try it out below.

Numbers without a symbol: These are automatically implied to be your base currency.

Numbers with a symbol: Include the currency symbol ($, €) before the number (e.g., $20.50, €10) and Koala will automatically understand it. You can even include a space!

Numbers with a currency code: Numbers with a 3 letter currency code like (EUR, USD, EGP) before or after the number.
also Koala even fixes typos and ignores spaces! So USD100, $ 100, 100usd, 100 uSd, usD100 are all the same.

You can use parentheses "()" to group things together and ensure the calculator performs the operations in the desired order

Large Numbers: You want to write out 11650000, but your eyes will hurt, so you can use symbols followed by a space (e.g., 10k for ten thousand, 10m for ten million). In this case 11.65m will represent the number above.
Write them verbally (e.g., 10 thousand). In this case 11.65 million will represent the example number above.
