How it works

Roman numerals use seven symbols — I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), M (1000) — written largest-first and added together, with six subtractive pairs (IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM) used for 4, 9, 40, 90, 400 and 900.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write 2026 in Roman numerals?

2026 = MMXXVI: 2000 is MM, 20 is XX and 6 is VI.

Why is there no Roman numeral for zero?

Roman numerals are a counting notation built on additive symbols with no placeholder for nothing. As a result zero, negative numbers and values above 3999 cannot be written in standard Roman numerals.

What is the largest Roman numeral?

3999 = MMMCMXCIX. No standard symbol may repeat more than three times, so 4000 and above needed a bar drawn over a numeral to multiply it by 1,000 — a convention this converter does not use.

Can I convert a birthday or date to Roman numerals?

Yes — use the date box below the converter. It shows the day, month and year separately, plus the full date in both day-month-year and month-day-year order, which is the layout used for birthday and tattoo designs.
