## What it does

### A currency on every amount

The commitment form carries a currency beside the amount: INR, USD, EUR and GBP by default, or any other from the **Currency** list, searchable by code or name. Each charge is totalled in the currency it was charged in.

### Totals kept apart

Totals are never converted or blended. The dashboard totals one currency, lists the others beside it, and switches between them from a menu at the top. **All commitments** and **All charges** filter by currency.

### A home currency

**HOME CURRENCY** under **Display & currency** sets the currency the dashboard leads with, and **Decide from my data** leads with the one most recurring commitments use. The choice appears once recurring commitments use more than one currency.

## Why it exists

Many households pay in more than one currency: software billed in dollars, rent in rupees, fees abroad in euros or pounds. A converted total moves with the exchange rate and hides the amount charged. longbook keeps every amount as charged and totals each currency on its own.

## Questions

### Does longbook convert currencies?

No. longbook holds no exchange rates. Each currency is totalled on its own, and the others are listed beside it.

### Which currencies can be used?

Any currency in current use, by its three-letter ISO code. INR, USD, EUR and GBP are on the quick selector by default, and the **Currency** list adds the rest.

### How do reports and my AI handle a second currency?

A [monthly report](https://longbook.app/features/create-monthly-expense-reports.md) totals one currency and lists every charge in its own. Through [longbook's MCP server](https://longbook.app/features/automate-longbook-with-claude.md), your AI gets totals per currency, never converted.
