Understand how to write check amounts in words and handle cents. Whether it's a simple fifty-dollar check or a check with thousands and cents, we provide detailed instructions and examples to ensure accuracy.
Writing checks for large amounts like $1,000 or more can be daunting. Our guide simplifies the process, showing you how to write a check for 1000 dollars, 1500 dollars, and other high-value amounts with confidence.
To write the amount in words, start with the dollar amount followed by the word 'and' and then the cents as a fraction. For example, $1,500.75 would be written as 'One thousand five hundred and 75/100'.
When writing cents on a check, write the dollar amount in words followed by 'and' and then the cents as a fraction over 100. For example, for $75.25, write 'Seventy-five and 25/100'.
If you make a mistake on a check, it's best to void the check and start over. Do not attempt to correct the mistake as this can lead to the check being rejected.
