About the Nepal currency exchange rate converter

This converter uses the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) reference rates for 22 currencies, including the US dollar, euro, British pound, Indian rupee, Gulf currencies and the Japanese yen. Enter an amount, choose a currency and pick the direction: foreign currency to NPR or NPR to foreign currency. The result uses the NRB buy rate when you are converting foreign currency into rupees, and the NRB sell rate when you are buying foreign currency with rupees.

Buy rate and sell rate explained

Banks do not use one single rate. The buy rate is what a bank pays you when it buys foreign currency, so it is the rate that applies when you exchange dollars or euros for NPR. The sell rate is what the bank charges when it sells foreign currency to you, so it applies when you use rupees to buy dollars or euros. The sell rate is slightly higher, which is how the bank covers its costs.

Why the rate you get may differ

NRB publishes reference rates, but banks, exchange houses and remittance companies add their own margin. Card networks and payment apps also use different wholesale rates and may charge a separate conversion fee. If you are converting a specific amount, type the rate your bank or provider has quoted into the rate field; the tool will calculate the exact NPR or foreign-currency amount for that rate.

Currencies quoted per 100 units

Some currencies are quoted per 100 units, such as the Indian rupee, Japanese yen and Korean won. The calculator divides the quoted rate by the unit so you always see the value of one whole unit. That avoids a common mistake when reading the NRB table.

What this tool is for

Use it for travel planning, online purchases, remittance estimates and checking a bank quote. It is not a live trading feed and it does not include service charges, card fees, taxes or the margin a money changer applies. Always confirm the final amount with the institution that is handling the transaction. To browse every published currency in one table first, see the Nepal exchange rates today page.

Frequently asked questions

What exchange rate does this converter use?
It is pre-filled with Nepal Rastra Bank reference rates for 22 currencies. You can overwrite the rate with the one quoted by your bank, exchange house or remittance provider.
Should I use the buy rate or the sell rate?
Use the buy rate when you are selling foreign currency to a bank for NPR. Use the sell rate when you are buying foreign currency from a bank with NPR. The converter switches automatically based on the direction you choose.
Why is the bank rate different from the NRB rate?
NRB rates are reference rates. Banks and money changers add a margin, and card networks or payment apps may add a separate conversion fee. The final rate you receive will usually be slightly less favourable than the NRB reference.
How do I convert a currency quoted per 100 units?
Select the currency and enter the amount in whole units. The tool divides the NRB quote by 100 automatically, so you do not need to do that step yourself.
Can I use this for remittance calculations?
Yes. Enter the amount you are sending and the provider rate to see the NPR value. For a fuller estimate that includes the transfer fee and effective rate, use the Nepal remittance calculator.
Is the rate updated live?
Yes. The converter automatically connects to the official Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) daily rates when online, and falls back to a verified snapshot if offline. You can also customize or overwrite the rate with the exact quote given by your bank or remittance provider.
