Amount in Hangul

Writes a number as the formal Korean amount used on contracts — 일금 오백만원정 — and back again.

A contract writes an amount twice — once in digits and once as 일금 오백만원정 — so that a digit cannot be altered afterwards without the two disagreeing. Writing the Hangul form by hand is where the errors get introduced, particularly in the ten-thousands.

Several at once

One per line. Digits become Hangul and Hangul becomes digits, whichever it finds.

A contract states the amount twice because digits can be altered with a pen and Hangul cannot. The formal style keeps the leading 일 for the same reason: 십만원 can be turned into 삼십만원, and 일십만원 cannot.

How to use it

  1. Enter the number

    The formal contract form — 일금 … 원정 — is produced, with the digit groups written the way a document expects rather than as a reading of the number.

  2. Or paste the Hangul to get the number back

    The reverse direction is for checking a document someone else wrote — read the Hangul, compare against the digits printed next to it.

  3. Use 갖은자 where alteration matters

    壹貳參 rather than 一二三 exist precisely because the simple forms can have strokes added. For a promissory note or a large contract, the elaborate forms are the convention.

Common questions

Why 정 at the end?

正 marks the end of the amount so that nothing can be appended after it. 일금 at the front does the same at the other end — together they bracket the figure.

Which form is correct for 35,000,000?

The contract form groups by 만 and 억, so it is 삼천오백만원 — not a digit-by-digit reading. The tool writes the grouped form, which is what a document expects.

Does it handle amounts with 원 below the won?

Korean contracts are written in whole won, and the tool follows that. A figure with decimals should be rounded before it is written into a document.
