Mod 10 Check Digit

This section lists the calculations for determining the Mod 10 Check Digit character.
The calculations for determining the Mod 10 Check Digit character are as follows:
  1. Start at the first position and add the value of every other position together.
    0 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 0 = 20
  2. The result of Step 1 is multiplied by 3.
    20 x 3 = 60
  3. Start at the second position and add the value of every other position together.
    1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25
  4. The results of steps 2 and 3 are added together.
    60 + 25 = 85
  5. The check character (12th character) is the smallest number which, when added to the result in step 4, produces a multiple of 10.
    85 + X = 90 (next higher multiple of 10)
    X = 5 Check Character
    This bar code illustrates the above example. The digit on the right (5) is the check digit.
