Number to words

Spell out any whole number in English words — for checks, contracts, and forms.

About this tool

Handles whole numbers into the billions, using standard American English (no "and" after hundred: 105 is "one hundred five"). This is the wording used when writing amounts on checks and in legal documents, where the written form is the one that counts.

Common questions

How do I write a check amount? Write the dollars in words on the line ("One hundred twenty-three") and the cents as a fraction: "and 45/100". The words control if they disagree with the digits.

Does it handle decimals? Whole numbers only — spell the part after the decimal separately as cents or as "point" digits.
