Has it ever happened to you that you are standing at a grocery store or a vegetable market, and the shopkeeper says, "Sir, your total comes to ₹239," leaving you wondering if the bill really is that exact amount?

In a crowded setting, separately opening a calculator and then switching back to the payment app can be quite a hassle. To solve this very problem, Paytm has launched a new and fantastic feature.

**What is Paytm's Built-in Calculator?**

This new feature from Paytm is a calculator that resides directly within the payment screen itself. When you enter an amount to send money to someone, it allows you to add up various individual prices.

Its most unique aspect is that it displays the total amount in both figures (numbers) and words. This ensures that you have entered the correct amount and that no errors have occurred.

**How ​​to Use It (Step-by-Step Guide)**
**Step 1: Open the Paytm App**

First, open the Paytm app on your mobile phone and ensure it is updated to the latest version.

**Step 2: Scan the QR Code**

Scan the shop's QR code or enter a person's mobile number/UPI ID.

**Step 3: Use the '+' Icon**

While entering the amount, click on the '+' icon to add up the individual prices.

**Step 4: View Auto-Calculation**

Your total will automatically update and will also be displayed in words.

**Step 5: Complete the Payment**

Confirm the correct amount, enter your UPI PIN, and make the payment.

**What are its Benefits?**
This feature allows you to perform calculations in real-time before making a payment, enabling you to verify the bill right in front of the shopkeeper.
Hasty errors—such as entering an amount that is too high or too low—are virtually eliminated, as the amount is displayed in words as well.
It is also extremely helpful for splitting bills with friends, allowing you to instantly calculate your exact share.
