How this works

Enter the number of each coin and bill. Set your target float (default $200). The calculator computes your total and shows a large‑to‑small breakdown of what to remove so your drawer is left as close as possible to the target amount.

This tool uses integer math to avoid rounding issues and a greedy, high‑to‑low strategy that matches typical U.S. cash handling. If an exact float isn’t possible, it keeps the closest viable amount and shows any shortfall.
