In computing, decimal32 is a decimal floating-point computer numbering format that occupies 4 bytes (32 bits) in computer memory. It is intended for storage, not for performing arithmetic computations.

Decimal32 floating point is a relatively new decimal floating-point format, formally introduced in the 2008 version of IEEE 754.
