stockholmThis brings a fully featured Money class for Python 3 – stockholm.Money.
Library for formatting and performing arithmetic and comparison operations on monetary amounts. Also with support for currency handling, rates, exchange and serialization + deserialization for when transporting monetary amount data across network layers (built-in data generation and parsing). 💰
decimal.Decimal. Sensible rounding by default. Never lose precision when making arithmetic operations. String output as you would expect.>>> Money("9001.42", currency="USD")
<stockholm.Money: "9001.42 USD">
Basically stockholm is a human friendly and modern Money class for Python 3. This is a library to be used by backend and frontend API coders of fintech companies, web merchants or subscription services. It's great for calculations of amounts while keeping a great level of precision.
from stockholm import Money, Rate
loan_amount = Money("250380.00", currency="EUR")
# <stockholm.Money: "250380.00 EUR">
interest_rate = Rate(0.073)
# <stockholm.Rate: "0.073">
interest_per_day = loan_amount * (interest_rate / 365)
# <stockholm.Money: "50.076 EUR">
Comes with functions to produce output for transport layers as well as having a robust and easy way to import/export values in GraphQL, JSON, Protocol Buffers, etc.
interest_per_day.asdict()
# {'value': '50.076 EUR', 'units': 50, 'nanos': 76000000, 'currency_code': 'EUR'}
interest_per_day.asdict(keys=("amount", "currency"))
# {'amount': '50.076', 'currency': 'EUR'}
interest_per_day.as_protobuf()
# <class 'google.type.money_pb2.Money'>
# · currency_code: "EUR"
# · units: 50
# · nanos: 76000000
The goal is to provide a flexible and robust package for development with any kind of monetary amounts. No more working with floats or having to deal with having to think about values in subunits for data transport layers or losing hours of sleep because of the default way that Decimal does rounding.
The monetary amounts can be transformed from (or into) dicts, strings, protobuf messages, json, floats, ints, Python Decimals, even other monetary amounts.
from stockholm import Money, Number
gross_price = Money("319.20 SEK")
# <stockholm.Money: "319.20 SEK">
vat_rate = Number(0.25) # 25% vat
vat_price = gross_price * vat_rate
# <stockholm.Money: "79.80 SEK">
net_price = gross_price + vat_price
# <stockholm.Money: "399.00 SEK">
total_sum = net_price * 5 # price of five items
# <stockholm.Money: "1995.00 SEK">
total_sum / 4 # total split on four people
# <stockholm.Money: "498.75 SEK">
Coding applications, libaries and microservices that consume and publish events that contain monetary amounts shouldn't be any harder than anything else. This package aims to ease that work. You can also use it for just numerical values of course.
There are times when you want to receive or publish events with monetary amounts or you need to expose an API endpoint and have a structured way to respond with balances, prices, vat, etc. without risking additional weirdness.
If you're developing a merchant solution, a ticketing service or webshop it can be great to have easy and structured interfaces for calculating orders and building summaries or reports.
float, but you can do more than just rely on int 🤔Some may be interfacing with banking infrastructure from the 70s or 80s 😓 and has to process data in insanly old string based formats like the example below and validate sums, currencies, etc.
If any of these sounds familiar, a library for handling monetary amounts could help to structure interfaces you build – specially if you're on microservice architectures where code bases quickly gets a life of their own and teams will likely have different takes on their APIs unless strict guidelines (or utility libraries) are in place.
from stockholm import MoneyThe stockholm.Money object has full arithmetic support together with int, float, Decimal, other Money objects as well as string. The stockholm.Money object also supports complex string formatting functionality for easy debugging and a clean coding pattern.
from stockholm import Money
Money("99.95 USD")
# <stockholm.Money: "99.95 USD">
from stockholm import CurrencyCurrencies to monetary amounts can be specified using either currencies built with the stockholm.Currency metaclasses or simply by specifying the currency ticker as a string (for example "SEK" or "EUR") when creating a new Money object.
Most currencies use two decimals in their default output. Some (like JPY) use fractions per default, and a few ones even has more than two decimals.
from stockholm import Currency, Money
Money(1000, "CNY")
# <stockholm.Money: "1000.00 CNY">
Money(1000, Currency.USD)
# <stockholm.Money: "1000.00 USD">
Money(1000, Currency.JPY)
# <stockholm.Money: "1000 JPY">
Currencies using the stockholm.Currency metaclasses can hold additional options, such as default number of decimals in string output. Note that the amounts behind the scenes actually uses the same precision and backend as Decimal values and can as well be interchangable with such values, as such they are way more exact to do calculations with than floating point values.
from stockholm import Number, RateThe Number and Rate classes works in the same way and is similar to the Money class, with the exception that they cannot hold a currency type and cannot operate with sub units. Examples of when to use them could be to differentiate some values from monetary values, while still getting the benefits from the Money class.
Arithmetic operations between numbers and monetary Money values will usually result in a returned Money object. When instantiating a Money object the currency value can be overriden from the source amount, which could be useful when exchanging currencies.
from stockholm import Money, Rate
jpy_money = Money(1352953, "JPY")
exchange_rate = Rate("0.08861326")
sek_money = Money(jpy_money * exchange_rate, "SEK")
print(f"I have {jpy_money:,.0m} which equals around {sek_money:,.2m}")
print(f"The exchange rate is {exchange_rate} ({jpy_money:c} -> {sek_money:c})")
# I have 1,352,953 JPY which equals around 119,889.58 SEK
# The exchange rate is 0.08861326 (JPY -> SEK)

# Note that you can only do arithmetics on two monetary amounts which shares the
# same currency, monetary amounts that doesn't hold a currency at all or an
# operation between a currency aware monetary object and a value that doesn't hold
# data about a currency.
# Look at the following examples of completely legit operations.
Money("100 SEK") + Money("50 SEK")
# <stockholm.Money: "150.00 SEK">
Money("100 EUR") * 20 + 5 - 3.5
# <stockholm.Money: "2001.50 EUR">
Money("100 USD") - Money("10")
# <stockholm.Money: "90.00 USD">

# <stockholm.Money: "70.00">
Money("100") + Money(2, currency="GBP")
# <stockholm.Money: "102.00 GBP">
Money("100", currency="EUR") + Money("10 EUR") - 50 + "20.51 EUR"
# <stockholm.Money: "80.51 EUR">
# And here's operations that tries to use two amounts with different currencies.
Money("100", currency="SEK") + Money("10 EUR")
# ! This results in a stockholm.exceptions.CurrencyMismatchError exception
Money(1) + Money("55 EUR") + Money(10, currency="EUR").to_currency("USD")
# ! This results in a stockholm.exceptions.CurrencyMismatchError exception
# Also note that you cannot multiply two currency aware monetary amounts by each
# other, for example say "5 EUR" * "5 EUR", that in that case would've resulted
# in "25 EUR EUR". A monetary amount can only hold one instance of currency.
Money("5 EUR") * Money("5 EUR")
# ! This results in a stockholm.exceptions.InvalidOperandError exception
Use f-string formatting for more human readable output and money.as_string() function to output with additional (or less) zero-padded fraction digits.

Money objects can be used in Pydantic (Pydantic>=2.2 supported) models and used with Pydantic's JSON serialization and validation – the same goes for Number and Currency objects as well. Specify the stockholm.Money type as the field type and you're good to go.
from pydantic import BaseModel
from stockholm import Money
class Transaction(BaseModel):
reference: str
amount: Money
transaction = Transaction(reference="abc123", amount=Money("100.00", "SEK"))
# Transaction(reference='abc123', amount=<stockholm.Money: "100.00 SEK">)
json_data = transaction.model_dump_json()
# '{"reference":"abc123","amount":{"value":"100.00 SEK","units":100,"nanos":0,"currency_code":"SEK"}}'
Transaction.model_validate_json(json_data)
# Transaction(reference='abc123', amount=<stockholm.Money: "100.00 SEK">)
It's also possible to use the stockholm.types Pydantic field types, for example stockholm.types.ConvertibleToMoney, which will automatically coerce input into a Money object.
from pydantic import BaseModel
from stockholm import Money
from stockholm.types import ConvertibleToMoney
class ExampleModel(BaseModel):
amount: ConvertibleToMoney
example = ExampleModel(amount="4711.50 USD")
# ExampleModel(amount=<stockholm.Money: "4711.50 USD">)
example.model_dump_json()
# '{"amount":{"value":"4711.50 USD","units":4711,"nanos":500000000,"currency_code":"USD"}}'
Other similar field types that can be used on Pydantic fields are ConvertibleToNumber, ConvertibleToMoneyWithRequiredCurrency and ConvertibleToCurrency – all imported from stockholm.types.
Note that it's generally recommended to opt for the more strict types (stockholm.Money, stockholm.Number and stockholm.Currency) when possible and the coercion types should be used with caution and is mainly suited for experimentation and early development.
units and nanos for transport in network medium, for example using the google.type.Money protobuf definition when using Protocol Buffers.from stockholm import Money
money = Money("22583.75382", "SEK")
money.units, money.nanos, money.currency_code
# (22583, 753820000, 'SEK')
# or vice versa
Money(units=22583, nanos=753820000, currency="SEK")
# <stockholm.Money: "22583.75382 SEK">
dict as well as created with dict value input, which can be great to for example transport a monetary value in JSON.from stockholm import Money
money = Money("4711.75", "SEK")
dict(money) # or by using: money.asdict()
# {'value': '4711.75 SEK', 'units': 4711, 'nanos': 750000000, 'currency_code': 'SEK'}
# A monetary amount object can be created from a dict either by passing dict directly
# to the Money() constructor or by using Money.from_dict(dict_input). Not all values
# needs to be available in the input dict, either "units", "nanos", "value" or "amount"
# should be specified or any combination of them, as long as values would result in the
# same output monetary value.
money = Money.from_dict({
"value": "4711.75 SEK",
"units": 4711,
"nanos": 750000000,
"currency_code": "SEK"
})
# <stockholm.Money: "4711.75 SEK">
The money.asdict() function can be called with an optional keys argument, which can be used to specify a tuple of keys which shuld be used in the returned dict.
The default behaviour of money.asdict() is equivalent to money.asdict(keys=("value", "units", "nanos", "currency_code")).
Values to use in the keys tuple for stockholm.Money objects are any combination of the following:
| key | description | return type | example |
|---|---|---|---|
value | amount + currency code | str | "9001.50 USD" |
units | units of the amount | int | 9001 |
nanos | number of nano units of the amount | int | 500000000 |
currency_code | currency code if available | str | None | "USD" |
currency | currency code if available | str | None | "USD" |
amount | the monetary amount (excl. currency code) | str | "9001.50" |
