Best answer:

Well…you don’t say what symbology it is you’re using. But I’m going to assume it’s a UPC-A barcode. UPC-A uses a Mod 10 check digit calculation.

For your barcode the formula would be as follows.
1. Add up the odd numbers (the rightmost character is odd) in the digits and multiply them by 3.
2. Add up the even numbers.
3. The check digit is obtained by determining the smallest number, that when added to the sum of steps 1 and 2, will produce a multiple of 10. For example, the check digit for a UPC-A number of 06000130065 is 3 because (3*(5+0+3+0+0+0))+(6+0+1+0+6) = 37 and 37+ 3 =40.

So your check digit is 3.
