How do you calculate a UPC check digit?
Information
- Add together the value of all of the digits in odd positions (digits 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11).
- Multiply that number by 3.
- Add together the value of all of the digits in even positions (digits 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10).
- Add this sum to the value in step 2.
- Take the number in Step 4.
- The check digit is therefore 3.
How is the check digit of a barcode calculated?
To calculate the check digit, take the remainder of (5 / 10), which is also known as (5 modulo 10), and if not 0, subtract from 10: i.e. (5 / 10) = 0 remainder 5; (10 – 5) = 5. Therefore, the check digit x value is 5.

How to find the check digit of UPC-A number?
Suppose that you want to find the check digit of UPC-A number 72641217542. From the right to the left, start with odd position, assign the odd/even position to each digit.
