# Build an Exact Cash Envelope From the Denominations You Have — Free

A cash budget does not tell you whether the actual notes can make an exact payment. Enter denomination values and available counts to assemble an exact amount with the fewest pieces, or expose the highest reachable amount below it.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Travelers assembling a small known payment from actual accepted denominations

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked denomination-envelope packet run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent denomination-envelope packet app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the denomination-envelope packet with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed minor units assembled and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups

## Sources & verification
