Check Writer: Printable Check in Words
This check writer helps you fill in a check correctly. Type the payee, amount, date and memo, and the tool writes the amount out in words for you, such as "One thousand two hundred fifty and 50/100", then draws a clean check layout you can download as a PNG or print. It is handy for practice, for learning how to write a check, and for records or templates. Please note that banks only accept checks on approved check stock, so this is not a replacement for real checks. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write the amount in words on a check?
Write the dollars in words, then the cents as a fraction of 100. For example, 1,250.50 is written One thousand two hundred fifty and 50/100.
Can I deposit a check printed from this tool?
Not unless your bank says it accepts it. Banks need approved check stock and magnetic ink, so this tool is meant for practice, templates and records.
Should I show my routing and account numbers?
They are optional, and you can leave them blank. Only enter them if you need a complete layout for your own records, and keep the file private.

Use the current date in month, day, year order. The memo line is optional and is a short note, such as the invoice number or the month of rent.
