GTIN
In common parlance, many people know the GTIN as a barcode, but technically the GTIN is the number below the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

Our online tools make it easy for you to calculate check digits, find information based on a GTIN or GLN, and clarify whether you need a new GTIN.
The last digit of all GS1 numbers is a computer check digit, which is calculated based on the preceding digits. A check digit must be correct for barcodes to work as it ensures that numbers and barcodes are correctly composed.
Calculate your check digit by clicking the link below and entering your number. You can enter either 7, 11, 12, 13 or 17 digits in the calculator depeding on the barcode (GTIN-8, UPC, GTIN-13, GTIN-14 and SSCC).
Check digits are calculated according to the modulus 10 algorithm.
