Complete Guide: How to Write Numbers in Words Correctly
Writing numbers in words is essential when issuing checks, signing formal contracts, drafting legal affidavits, or preparing invoices. Because written words cannot be easily altered by adding extra digits, financial institutions rely on written words as the ultimate legal proof of payment.
Write the whole dollar amount in words, followed by the word and and the cents as a fraction over 100.
Always use a hyphen for compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine.
After writing the amount on the legal line, immediately draw a firm horizontal line to the end of the line. This stops criminals from adding extra words like "and thousand".
In American English, "and" is strictly reserved to separate whole dollars from cents. In British English, "and" is commonly placed after hundreds (e.g. one hundred and fifty).
