How to use Luhn Validator & Check Digit

Enter a credit card or IMEI number, and the tool validates it against the Luhn algorithm and computes the correct check digit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Luhn algorithm?

A simple checksum (mod 10) formula that validates identification numbers such as credit cards, IMEI numbers, and some national IDs. It catches most single-digit typos and adjacent transpositions.

Does a valid Luhn mean a real card?

No — Luhn only verifies the check digit is consistent. It does not mean the card exists or is active. No data is sent anywhere; validation runs entirely in your browser.

How is the check digit calculated?

Enter the number without its last digit and the tool appends the digit that makes the full number pass the Luhn check.
