Currently, the native system is mostly used as cardinal numbers and more often as ordinal numbers, and the Spanish-derived system is used in monetary and chronological terminology and is also commonly used in counting from 11 and above, though both systems can be used interchangeably regardless. The table below shows the comparison of native numerals and Spanish-derived numerals, but observably Cebuano speakers would often just use the English numeral system instead, especially for numbers more than 100.<ref name=":0" />

The language uses a base-ten numeral system, thence the sets of ten are ultimately derived from the unit except the first ten which is ''"napulò"'', this is done by adding a prefix '''''ka-''','' then followed by a unit, and then the suffix '''''-an'''''. For example, '''20''' is spoken as '''''ka-duhá-an''''' (lit. "the second set of ten"). The numbers are named from one to ten, for values after ten, it is spoken as ''a <u>ten</u> and a <u>unit</u>''. For example, '''11''' is spoken as "''napulò ug usá"'', shortened to "''napulò'g usá"'' (lit. "ten and one"), '''111''' is spoken as ''"usa ka gatós, napulò ug usá",'' and '''1111''' is spoken as ''"usá ka libo, usá ka gatós, napulò ug usá".'' The ordinal counting uses the prefix '''''ika'''-'', and then the unit, except for "first" which is ''"una"''. For example, '''''ika-'''duhá'' means "second".{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}
