Money Fields
Money fields give you a text input tailored for storing currency amounts.
# Settings
Money fields have the following settings:
- Currency – The currency in which values should be stored.
- Default Value – The default value that should be applied for new elements.
- Min Value – The lowest amount that may be entered in the field.
- Max Value – The highest amount that may be entered in the field.
- Show Currency – Whether to display the currency label with the field’s text input.
- Size – The input’s
sizeattribute.
Values are always stored in the database as an integer, in the currency’s base or “minor” unit. For example, the Chilean Peso has no minor unit and is always expressed as a whole number; on the other hand, the Swiss Franc can be split into 100 Rappen. Even if you enter a value like 123.45 Fr. in the control panel, it will be stored in the minor unit as 12345.

# Querying Elements with Money Fields
When querying for elements that have a Date field, you can filter the results based on the Money field data using a query param named after your field’s handle.
When querying with a money field, provide amounts as you would naturally write them (123.45), not in the currency’s minor unit (12345). Craft will automatically normalize the values when executing the query.
Any value compatible with craft\helpers\Db::parseMoneyParam() (opens new window) can be passed as a query param:
| Value | Fetches elements… |
|---|---|
':empty:' | …that have no amount saved. |
':notempty:' | …that have an amount saved. |
'>= 123.45' | …that have a normalized amount greater than 123.45. |
'< 123.45' | …that have a normalized amount less than 123.45. |
['and', '>= 50.00', '< 75.00'] | …that have a normalized amount between 50.00 and 75.00. |
['or', '< -100.00', '> 100.00'] | …that have a normalized amount less than -100.00 or greater than 100.00. |
All values are assumed to be in the field’s currency.
# Working with Money Field Data
If you have an element with a Money field in your template, you can output its value using the money filter, or craft\helpers\MoneyHelper::toString() (opens new window).
That will give you a formatted currency value for the field, if it has a value.
