How to write 325,000 in words
The number 325,000 is written “three hundred and twenty-five thousand” in British English. Notice the word “and”: British English places it between the hundreds and the rest of the group. American English usually leaves it out. The hyphen in twenty-five is not optional – every compound number from twenty-one to ninety-nine is hyphenated.
Because 325,000 is below one thousand it is a single group: name the hundreds and stop. That gives “three hundred and twenty-five thousand”.
In running text the number is normally lowercase: “the fee is three hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds”. At the start of a sentence, in a heading, or on a legal document it takes capitals: Three Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand. Formal documents often give both forms together, for example “three hundred and twenty-five thousand (325,000)”, so that a reader can check one against the other.

- Dropping “and”. three hundred twenty-five thousand is American usage. In British English write three hundred and twenty-five thousand.
- Pluralising the group words. It is hundred, thousand, never “hundreds”, “thousands” or “millions” after a number.
