Write the dollar amount in words To include the cents, use a fraction with “100” on the bottom. So if the check amount is $44.99, write “forty-four and 99/100.” Even if the dollar amount has no cents, it's typically best to include a “00/100” for clarity.
Write the amount in numbers
There is a box just under the date line, meant for writing the amount of the check in numbers. If your check is for a whole number such as 50 or 75, always include the cents too so it shows as $50.00. It's always a good idea to include cents in all cases, such as $1,298.24.
You can write the amount of cents by writing the value of the coins and adding a cent sign (¢) after it. This shows that the amount of money is made up of coins less than 1 dollar.
First, write the amount in numeric form in the dollar box, located on the right side of your check next to the dollar sign (“$”). Start by writing the number of dollars (“8”) followed by a decimal point or period (“.”), and then the number of cents (“15”).
You could write “zero dollars and” followed by the fraction, or write the amount out in words preceded by the word “only.” For example, 50 cents would become “zero dollars and 50/100” or “Only fifty cents.”
Australian currency is in dollars and cents. We use the dollar symbol $ and the cent symbol ¢. In text, we identify Australian dollars with AUD.
$0.0500 is five cents but it's also more efficient to express it like this: $0.05 . $0.055 is (by the way) five and one half cents.
The dollar amount is always written out as words, and the cent amount written as a fraction out of 100. This is because there are 100 cents in a dollar, so if the check amount includes 45 cents, it is 45/100 of a dollar.
There is no particular limit for the amount that can be transacted through checks, and hence it is possible to pay some cents using a check. Obviously, if it is less than a dollar, the check amount consists of a few cents.
For example, if the check amount is $105.00, you'll want to write out “one hundred five dollars only.” Make sure the amount you put in the small box matches the amount you describe using words.
There are two spots on a check for stating the amount you're paying. The first is a small box to the right of the line for the recipient's name. Write the numerical dollar amount in this box. For example, you may write $100.30 if you wish to write a check for one hundred dollars and thirty cents.
You might find yourself wondering: How do you write a check for $1,500? Instead of “Fifteen hundred,” Capital One recommends “One thousand, five hundred and 00/100” to indicate the dollar amount and no cents. Because the word “dollars” is printed on the check, you do not need to write that yourself.
*Although these bills and coins are minted, they are not commonly used. In 1 dollar there are 100 cents and we write them after a period: 1 cent of a dollar is written $0.01. 10 cents of a dollar is written $0.10.
First, write the amount in numeric form in the dollar box, located on the right side of your check next to the dollar sign (“$”). Start by writing the number of dollars (“8”), followed by a decimal point or period (“.”), and then the number of cents (“15”). Ultimately, you'll have “8.15” in the dollar box.
For example, you could write thirty-two cents as 32/100. Note that at this point, we have returned to using decimal notation rather than expansively writing the amount out.
