# Money & currency

> How amounts are represented

All monetary amounts use a single object shape — never a bare number.

```json theme={"theme":"github-dark-dimmed"}
{ "amount": "5400.00", "currency": "MAD" }
```

* `amount` — a **decimal string with exactly two decimals** (regex
  `^-?\d+\.\d{2}$`). It is a string on purpose: never deserialize it into a
  binary float. Use a decimal type on your side.
* `currency` — `MAD` only in `v1`. The field exists so future currencies are an
  additive, non-breaking change.

## Sign convention

Amounts are positive except where a reduction is expressed: refund and negative
adjustment lines in a [settlement](/api-concepts/settlements) carry a negative
`amount`. Settlement arithmetic is exact:

```
net_due = bookings_total − refunds_total + adjustments_total
```

<Warning>
  Do not round or reformat amounts you receive, and send amounts back with the
  same two-decimal string form. A mismatch on `payment_confirmation` is rejected
  with `payment.amount.mismatch`.
</Warning>

The net amount in a [quote](/concepts/quotes) is what you owe Safariat at the
monthly settlement — not what you charge the traveler. Your customer-facing
price (margin included) is yours to set.
