Questions
How do I write the amount in words on a check?
Write the dollars in words, then the cents as a fraction over 100. For example, 1,250.00 becomes One thousand two hundred fifty and 00/100. This tool does it for you.
Is this check maker free?
Yes. The free version prints a sample layout marked SAMPLE and does not include bank numbers.
Is my banking data safe here?
The free tool does not ask for routing or account numbers. Fields stay in your browser for the session. See our privacy page for details.
Can I cash or deposit this printout?
No. It is marked SAMPLE · NOT NEGOTIABLE and has no real MICR bank numbers. It is for layout practice only.
