Abstract: Odd index pairings of $K_1$-group elements with Fredholm modules are of relevance in index theory, differential geometry and applications such as to topological insulators. For the concrete setting of operators on a Hilbert space over a lattice, it is shown how to calculate the resulting index as the signature of a suitably constructed finite-dimensional matrix, more precisely the finite volume restriction of what we call the spectral localizer. In presence of real symmetries, secondary $mathbb{Z}_2$-invariants can be obtained as the sign of the Pfaffian of the spectral localizer. These results reconcile two complementary approaches to invariants of topological insulators.
