Pound (£) decimal places

[martinchivers]

I use my iPhone calculator a lot. This is for Pound sterling calculations. By default 4 numbers (for instance) will be displayed as 2,777

I want it to show as 27.77 (as an example) I'd like it to be permanently set to this format. i.e. 2 decimal places. This would represent £27.77. so 27 pounds and 77 pence. I do not want to have to type the "." Is there any way to do this?

Enter your calculations with 2 decimal points so the output is the same.

Thank you. Yeah. I realise I could do that. But I don’t want to have to.

The stock calculator app doesn't have this functionality. You'd need to search the App Store for an accounting/financial calculator that does.

You pretty much have three options:

• Find a third-party app
• Use the decimal
• Enter in numbers like you want, without the decimals, and divide by 100 at the end
  • ex. 1576+3700+4897+5684+2379 / 100

Thanks yes. I do the third option now. Looks like i’ll continue doing this, no hardship really. I just hoped there was a get around to tweak a setting somewhere.

Thanks guys.

Don’t know if you have a phone that supports Maths Notes (reachable by long pressing the Calculator icon) but worth a try maybe?

Maths Notes is for solving algebra type stuff in the Notes app (solving expressions, graphing, solving handwritten maths, etc).

Hi. Yes. It’s a 16 pro. I tried it. But wasn’t able to make any changes to the setting.

Untimely I just interpret the numbers and mentality add the decimal. It’s a bit annoying but no big deal.

Indeed.

iOS 18 calculator app can let you convert quid 💷 to other currencies but it’s not like excel whereas you can solely use decimal dollar values. So you have to use a decimal point when calculating on your iPhone.
