How to write an amount in words on a check

US banks treat the written amount as the legal amount if the numbers and the words disagree. The usual format is:

One thousand two hundred fifty and 75/100 dollars

  • Spell the whole dollars in words.
  • Write cents as a fraction over 100, even for 00/100.
  • Do not use “and” inside the dollar amount. Use “and” only before the cents.
  • Start at the left of the line and draw a line through any leftover space.

Use the check writer if you want this bank format in one click, including USD, EUR, GBP, UAH, PLN, and INR.

When to write numbers in words

  • Bank checks and money orders — the written line is what the bank pays.
  • Invoices and receipts — the total in words reduces disputes over commas and decimals.
  • Contracts, loans, and court papers — the spelled amount is harder to alter.
  • Tax payments — IRS and other agencies expect the written amount to match the numeric box.
