# Formats

You can control the format of the Kendo UI for Vue NumericTextBox by using the [`format`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/inputs/api/numerictextboxprops#format) property.



It accepts string or \[`NumberFormatOptions`] parameters. When `format` is set and the input element is not focused, the value is formatted properly. By default, the format is set to `'n2'`.

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

When you use a currency format, for example, `'c2'` or `{ style: 'currency' }`, the NumericTextBox shows the plain number while focused, for example, `1234.5` instead of `$1,234.50`, and applies the format on blur. The typed precision is kept in the value, and values outside the `min` and `max` range are corrected on blur.
