Seems like a common use case, where someone creating a form would want to ask users a financial question. Is there no way to create a formatted number field with commas and currency symbols?

Hi 
Hi, we are beginning to use Typeform for loans but not having a field that formats currency is becoming kind of a deal breaker :(
Please include some kind of mask in a number field to format the input as a currency.
Hi
Also looking for the “Currency” field if asking for a financial input.
Both currency and formatted number entry (e.g. 1,000,000 vs. the current 1000000) are really important. I’m stunned that Typeform doesn’t have this already. Feels like there are many form libraries that provide this automatically. I understand some of the issues of converting a number format into CSV and then getting the annoying scientific notation interpretation in Excel’s digestion of the CSV output. But, Typeform should tackle this!
I too expected a currency field.
+1 for the currency field. Feels like an easy win here….

I’m a bit shocked that Typeform doesn’t have this. You have calculations and videos that speak of the price of a pizza in currency, yet the person completing the form doesn’t have the option to do the same. We work in finance. This kindof blows the idea of using this extensively.

Potentially on to the next one.

Hi
It's been 2 years since the community requested numbers with commas. It's discouraging!

I definitely feel the pain,
Hey there
I’ll let the others chime in but we need:
- Ability to enable commas
- Ability to enable currency in (e.g. Dollar, Euro, Yen, Pound, etc.)
- Ability to enable decimals and set the decimal place
- Ability to enable the input to be a percent
I would look to how Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel enable numerical formatting.

Thanks for sharing this,
+1 for a currency field. The unformatted number field isn’t as presentable in finished forms as it should be. Dev team please add this!!!
Typeform offers beautiful forms. Having numbers input and variables calculated in Currency Format with comma separators is a must-have for my business.
I don’t want to be forced to use Jotform for this functionality so please consider adding this as soon as possible.
Thank you
Yeah I also agree with this.. it has been a long time since typeform really improved… and this seems like a no-brainer

From Typeform’s support. Might be helpful for the folks here. TL;DR Don’t wait for this, no timeline...

Hi team Typeform,
ok the lack of decimal, currency and even negative numbers is a big no no for Typeform. What I understand from your dev team is that they fear breaking integrations when they introduce those classes. The foundation is shaky unfortunately.
A suggestion that won’t break integrations is to add proper validation to the short text field. The form builder could specify what the user can and cannot enter using either regular expressions directly, or pre-specified templates.
So for instance when the user tries to enter 8,00 as decimal (common in Netherlands), an error will pop up stating “please use “.” as a decimal point. That would already be 1000 times better than the current state where users give me headaches. Try calculating the average of
€100,5
10.6
100.5euro
etc.
This solution will store the results in a text field still so no integration will break and gives us consistent data entry.
Please please please Typeform up your numbers game!
