# Can I control the decimal places in reward letters?

## This guide explains how to configure the number of decimal places shown in your reward letters.

#### **Using Placeholders**

Reward letters use placeholders to automatically pull data fields from the workbook. You can find these placeholders in the **Cycle's Settings page \> Reward Letter Templates tab \> Placeholders** linked text.

#### **Formatting Decimal, Currency, or Percent Fields**

When the field you want to pull is a decimal, currency, or percent, the placeholder includes a formatting option:

Here’s how it works:

- `number_format(2)` → Displays **2 decimal places**
- `number_format(0)` → Displays **no decimal places**
- `number_format(4)` → Displays **4 decimal places**

Adjust the number inside the parentheses to control how many decimal places appear in the reward letter. 

#### Examples

- Salary with two decimals: `current_salary | number_format(2)` → 50,000.00
- Salary with no decimals: `current_salary | number_format(0)`→ 50,000
- Percentage with four decimals: `bonus_percent | number_format(4)`→ 12.3456%

### **Key Notes**

- Use `number_format(n)` to control decimal precision.
- Replace `n` with the number of decimal places you want.
- This applies to any decimal, currency, or percent field in your reward letters.
