HOW IT WORKS

Compute the 12th UPC-A check digit from the first 11 digits with the standard GS1 algorithm.

1
Enter the digits
Type the first 11 digits of your UPC-A barcode; non-digits are ignored and the counter shows when you have hit 11.
2
We check it
Sum the odd-position digits and multiply by 3, add the even-position digits, then check digit = (10 − total mod 10) mod 10.
3
Use the result
The hero number is the check digit; the full 12-digit UPC-A below is ready to encode into a barcode.
