# About This Calculator
Writing a check requires translating a numerical value into formal English words. This serves as a security measure—if the numbers in the box are unclear or altered, the written words are considered the legally binding amount.
The standard format for check writing includes writing the dollar amount in full words and the cents as a fraction over 100. For example, $125.50 becomes "One Hundred Twenty-Five and 50/100".
This tool automates that translation, ensuring you never misspell a number or use the wrong formal structure.
How To Use
- Enter the numerical amount (e.g., 500.25).
- The translated formal text will appear instantly.
- Ensure the cents are correct—they are always formatted as **xx/100**.
- Copy the text to avoid errors when writing your physical check.
