# Formats

The NumericTextBox accepts only numeric entries and its specific format defines the conversion data type—for example, currency or percentage. You can use different formats, if you want to display a numeric specific for a particular country/region. The purpose of number formatting is to convert a Number object to a human readable string using the culture-specific settings. For setting a Format in the Telerik UI NumericTextBox for MVC and Core the "Format" property could be used.

The following example demonstrates how to render a currency NumericTextBox by using the "Format" property.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    @(Html.Kendo().NumericTextBox()
        .Name("currency")
        .Format("c")
    )
```

```Razor TagHelper
<kendo-numerictextbox name="numeric"
                      format="c">
</kendo-numerictextbox>
```

The following example demonstrates how to render a percentage NumericTextBox by using the "Format" property.

```Razor HtmlHelper
    @(Html.Kendo().NumericTextBox()
        .Name("percentage")
        .Format("p0")
    )
```

```Razor TagHelper
<kendo-numerictextbox name="percentage"
                      format="p0">
</kendo-numerictextbox>
```

More examples of the available formatting options you can find below. The runnable example in the demo represents how to format numbers by using the kendo.toString method in Kendo UI:
