Balance Your Checkbook

Use the calculator below to determine the current checking account balance. First, update your checkbook register and compare it to your current statement. Then fill in the numbers and amounts for checks that do not appear on your current statement. Finally, enter the deposits that do not appear on your current statement.

Outstanding Drafts   Check number Amount    $  $  $  $  $  $  $  $  Total of drafts outstanding $

Date Balance shown this statement: $ Add: Deposits not credited on this statement (if any) $ $ $ Subtotal $ Subtract: Total of drafts outstanding $ Balance $ This should agree with your checkbook balance

This balance should match the balance in your checkbook register. If not, check your math and the entries in your checkbook register.

If it still doesn't match, make sure the dollar amount of each item in your register matches the same item on your statement. Then, compare your register with deposit slips and your statement—maybe you forgot to record something in your register. If the difference between your register and statement is a whole number, check your addition and subtraction.
