how do I know if my entire macbook pro Photos library has uploaded to iCloud?
I think the difference is the overhead (thumbnails, database files, edits, whatever else makes Photos work on the Mac, etc.). FWIW, my library on Mac is 127 GB and 106 GB in iCloud. I keep originals on the Mac (not optimized).

When I checked by the method muguy recommended, it looks like I have 39,258 photos and when I checked by the method clean recommended, it looks like I have 39,256 photos so I'm happy that this seems correct and is all of the photos on my old MBP. I am perplexed, however, in that I expanded my iCloud storage from 5 GB to 2 TB because it appears I have 337 GB of photos in my Photos library on my MBP (and my 750 GB hard drive is nearly full) and when I check on the amount of storage used/available on iCloud Drive, it lists 1.75 TB (out of 2 TB) available. So is the difference all related to compression of the photo data?
Open Photos
Click on Library
Scroll to the bottom of the library
You'll see an item count (pics and videos) and beneath that, the current iCloud status
You can see it for yourself using your browser => https://www.icloud.com/#photos
Thank you very much for the help.
