Assumptions and limitations

  • This is a denomination conversion within decimal sterling, not a foreign-exchange conversion. It does not use market rates.
  • Amounts must be nonnegative. Fractional pence can be useful for quoted unit prices, but a cash payment needs rounding under the applicable payment rules. Pre-decimal pounds, shillings and old pence use a different system.

Common questions

Are GBX and GBP the same unit?

They refer to pence sterling and pounds sterling respectively. A numeric quote in pence is 100 times the same amount expressed in pounds.

Does 1.5 pence equal £1.50?

No. It equals £0.015. By comparison, £1.50 equals 150 pence.
