A number to words converter writes a figure out in full, such as 1,250 becoming one thousand two hundred and fifty. It is useful for forms, contracts, invoices, children's exercises and any document where the amount needs to be spelled out. This tool follows UK English, so the word and comes before the last part of a number, as in one hundred and one or one thousand and one. It handles whole numbers from zero up to 999,999,999,999, and it also accepts negative whole numbers, which are written with the word minus at the start, so the result is always clear to read.
The cheque option turns an amount in pounds and pence into the wording usually written on a cheque, such as Three hundred and forty-two pounds and fifty pence only, which is the form most people recognise. Pence are written in words and the amount finishes with the word only, which helps to stop a figure being changed later. Some banks ask for slightly different layouts, so the wording is a guide. Check the rules of your own bank before you write or sign a cheque.

Why does the cheque wording say pence and not cents?
In the United Kingdom money is written in pounds and pence, where one hundred pence make one pound. The wording on a cheque follows that system, so the fractional part is always pence. A single penny is written as one penny, and two or more are written as pence, such as twenty-one pence. Cents are used in many other countries but not in UK cheques.

The tool gives the standard layout that UK cheques usually follow, but it does not give legal or banking advice.

If you are unsure, ask your bank how they want amounts written before you use the cheque.
