Official Algorithm (Modulo 11 PRH / Vero)

Official formula governed by Finnish Business Information Act (272/2001):

Sum = Σ (d[i] * W[i]) [W = 7, 9, 10, 5, 8, 4, 2]; Remainder = Sum mod 11; DV = Remainder === 0 ? 0 : 11 - Remainder.
  1. 1. Take the first 7 base digits.
  2. 2. Multiply each digit by weights [7, 9, 10, 5, 8, 4, 2].
  3. 3. Sum all multiplication results.
  4. 4. Divide by 11 to obtain the remainder.
  5. 5. Remainder 1 is forbidden; remainder 0 gives DV 0; otherwise DV is 11 - remainder.
