How to convert pence to pounds

If you're working with British currency and wondering how to convert pence to pounds, the good news is that it's really simple. The key thing to remember is that 1 pound equals 100 pence. So if you know how many pence you have, just divide that number by 100 to get pounds.

Here's the quick formula to use:

pounds = pence / 100

and if you're going the other way around — you multiply by 100 instead:

pence = pounds × 100

Let's look at a few examples to make it clearer:

  • 50 pence = 0.50 pounds
  • 99 pence = 0.99 pounds
  • 150 pence = 1.50 pounds
  • 1000 pence = 10 pounds
  • 0.75 pounds = 75 pence
  • 2.20 pounds = 220 pence

Two hundred twenty pence seems like a lot of money! Well, it's not worth much, but it's certainly heavy. Check out our UK coin weight to calculate it for yourself!

Pence, pennies, pounds… what's the difference?

People use all kinds of names when discussing British money, which can be a bit confusing at first. You'll hear penny, pence, quid, maybe even tenner or fiver, it depends who's talking and where.

To keep it simple:

  • "Pence" is the correct plural, but people often say "pennies" in everyday talk, especially for coins. Usage example: "How many pence are in a pound?"
  • "Pound" is the official term, but many people say "quid". You can hear it in everyday talk as well, like: "Is a pound 100 pence?"
  • A fiver is a £5 note, and a tenner is £10. You'll hear those a lot, too.

And when someone asks how many pence are in a pound, the answer is always 100; that hasn't changed. If you're trying to convert pounds to pence, or the other way around, our pence to pounds calculator makes it quick and easy. No thinking is needed. Just type in a number and you're done.
