In a sentence

お釣(つ)りchangeはいらないdon't needです

Keep the change

How it works

は (topic) sets up お釣り(おつり) (change) as the topic, then the verb いる (need) turns negative as いらない (don't need). Tacking です (is) onto a plain negative adjective-form is a softer, polite way to say it — keeping the casual いらない (don't need) but adding politeness.
