Write Numbers on Cheques and Legal Documents

Cheques require the amount written in words to prevent fraud. A cheque for $1,247.50 should read "one thousand two hundred forty-seven dollars and fifty cents."

For legal documents, the written amount is the binding figure if it conflicts with the numeral. Always double-check the words match your intended amount.

Switch to currency mode and select USD, GBP, or EUR to get the exact phrasing expected for banking and legal use, including plurals.

Some jurisdictions capitalise the first letter of the written amount. The output here capitalises automatically — appropriate for formal documents.
