# Formats

You can control the format of the NumericTextBox by using the [`format`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/numerictextboxcomponent#format) property.

It accepts string or [`NumberFormatOptions`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/globalization/internationalization/api/numberformatoptions) parameters. When `format` is set and the input element is not focused, the value is formatted accordingly. By default, the format is set to `'n2'`.

For more information on the date and number formats Kendo UI for Angular supports, refer to the [kendo-intl](https://github.com/telerik/kendo-intl/blob/master/docs/num-formatting/index.md) GitHub repository.
