Extract Numbers and Phone Numbers

Sometimes you only need the numbers. The amounts in a pasted bank statement, the figures in a report, the measurements in lab notes or the phone numbers scattered through email signatures. This tool lists them and, for ordinary numbers, adds them up.

How numbers are recognised

The extractor reads numbers the way they are written in documents: 42, -4.5, 1,250.00, $49.90, €1,250, 15 % and 82%. A leading minus sign or the typographic minus (−) makes a number negative. Currency symbols such as $, €, £, ¥, ₹ and the codes USD, EUR, GBP, INR, JPY, CHF, CAD and AUD mark amounts, and a percent sign marks percentages. Codes like A4, MP3 or ID12345 are skipped, because digits glued to letters are usually names rather than quantities.

Point or comma decimals

In the US and UK, 1,234.56 means one thousand two hundred thirty-four point five six. In much of Europe and Latin America the same number is written 1.234,56. Choose the decimal separator your text uses and the other mark is treated as a thousands separator. Non-breaking and thin spaces, which French and many style guides use between digit groups, are also understood; ordinary spaces are not, so separate numbers in a list stay separate.

Totals and plain values

Below the list you see how many numbers were found and their sum, average, smallest and largest value. That is often all you need: the total of the invoices in an email, the average of a set of readings. Switch on “Plain values” to write each number as a bare value (1250.5 instead of $1,250.50), ready to paste into a spreadsheet column. Check the list before trusting the sum: a date such as 03/05/2026 contributes three numbers, and a time contributes two.

Phone numbers

Phone mode uses libphonenumber, the numbering-plan library behind Android, to find phone numbers in text, including formats like (415) 555-0132, +44 20 7946 0958 and 030 901820. Numbers without a +country code are interpreted using the country you choose. Each number is written in the format you pick: E.164 (+14155550132) for databases and SMS services, international with spaces, or the national format. Extensions are kept, and the counter shows how many of the numbers are valid for their country.

Examples of use

Bookkeepers total the amounts in a pasted statement or check that a set of invoices adds up. Students collect measurements from lab notes. Office teams gather the phone numbers from a thread of email signatures and paste them into a contact list. Researchers count how many figures a report cites.

Privacy

The text is read in your browser and never uploaded, which matters for bank statements and contact details. The phone rules are part of this site’s code and are downloaded once, without your text.

Reading the totals carefully

The sum adds every number in the list, so make sure the list contains only what you mean to add. Quantities and prices in the same sentence (“2 lamps at $49.90”) are both numbers; a quick look at the list, or the plain-values output pasted into a spreadsheet, shows which figures were picked up. Percentages are listed as their number, so 15 % counts as 15 in the sum.
