How Korean numbers work
English groups digits in threes (thousand, million, billion). Korean groups them in fours. The key units are 만 (man, 10,000), 억 (eok, 100,000,000) and 조 (jo, 1,000,000,000,000). Smaller words 천 (cheon, 1,000), 백 (baek, 100) and 십 (sip, 10) are used inside each group.
So 3억 5천만 원 means 3 × 100,000,000 + 5,000 × 10,000 = 350,000,000 won, or 350 million won.
| Korean | Romanized | Number | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| 만 | man | 10,000 | ten thousand |
| 10만 | sim-man | 100,000 | one hundred thousand |
| 100만 | baeng-man | 1,000,000 | one million |
| 1000만 | cheon-man | 10,000,000 | ten million |
| 1억 | il-eok | 100,000,000 | one hundred million |
| 10억 | sip-eok | 1,000,000,000 | one billion |
| 1조 | il-jo | 1,000,000,000,000 | one trillion |
Where you will see these numbers
- Rent: a listing like 보증금 1000 / 월세 50 usually means a 10,000,000 won deposit and 500,000 won monthly rent. Real-estate sites often leave out 만, so the numbers are in units of 10,000 won.
- Jeonse: lump-sum deposits are usually written in 억, such as 2억 5천 (250,000,000 won).
- Salaries: annual pay is often said as 연봉 3천 or 3,500만 원 (35,000,000 won a year). Try the take-home pay calculator to see the monthly amount.
About the exchange rate
The dollar amount uses a reference rate loaded from ExchangeRate-API when the page opens. Banks and card companies add their own margin, so the rate you actually get will be a little different. You can type your own rate in the box above.
