# Amount

final class in quittio/core

`Quittio\Core\Support\Amount` · [Source](https://github.com/Quittio/quittio/blob/v0.7.1/packages/core/src/Support/Amount.php#L22)

Factory for monetary amounts.

EN 16931 allows at most two decimals for every amount, independent of the currency's minor unit. All amounts therefore use a fixed scale of 2.

## Constants \#

| Constant | Value | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `SCALE` | `2` | |

## Methods \#

| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `::context()` | |
| `::currency()` | Currency for a code. Codes unknown to ISO 4217 are accepted, so that invalid input leads to a validation finding (BR-CL-04) instead of an exception. |
| `::format()` | Amount as string with exactly two decimals (e.g. "1234.50"). |
| `::fromDecimal()` | |
| `::of()` | Creates an amount. Values with more than two decimals are rejected unless $round is true. |
| `::ofNullable()` | |
| `::zero()` | |
