About the Complete Nepali Number Converter

The Nepali Number Converter provides bidirectional conversion between English Arabic numerals (0, 1, 2...) and Nepali Devanagari numerals (०, १, २...), along with full linguistic translations into Nepali words (अक्षरमा), English words (Lakh–Crore and Million–Billion standards), Romanized phonetics, and cheque-ready banking formats.

Nepali (South Asian) vs Western Numbering Scale

Nepal uses the Vedic / South Asian numbering scale where commas are grouped first at 3 digits from the right (thousands), and then by every 2 digits (lakhs, crores, arabs, kharbas). For instance, ten million is written as 1,00,00,000 in Nepal, rather than 10,000,000 as in the Western three-digit grouping.

  • 1 Lakh (लाख): 1,00,000 (One Hundred Thousand)
  • 10 Lakh (दश लाख): 10,00,000 (One Million)
  • 1 Crore (करोड): 1,00,00,000 (Ten Million)
  • 1 Arab (अरब): 1,00,00,00,000 (One Billion)
  • 1 Kharba (खर्ब): 1,00,00,00,00,000 (One Hundred Billion)

Cheque Writing & Legal Documentation in Nepal

In Nepalese banks (such as Nabil Bank, Global IME, NIC Asia, Rastriya Banijya Bank) and government land revenue offices (मालपोत कार्यालय), amounts must be written in words (अक्षरेपी) to avoid ambiguity. Banks strictly require the amount in numbers and the amount in words to match exactly. This tool generates the official cheque line format with "मात्र" (only) to ensure zero risk of bank rejection.

Frequently asked questions

How do you write a cheque amount in words in Nepal?
On a Nepalese bank cheque, write the amount in words following the Lakh-Crore system followed by "मात्र" in Nepali (e.g., "पाँच लाख पचास हजार रुपैयाँ मात्र") or "only" in English (e.g., "Five lakh fifty thousand rupees only").
Why are commas placed differently in Nepali numbers?
Nepali numbers follow the 3, 2, 2 grouping. The first comma appears after the first 3 digits from the right (hundreds), and subsequent commas appear after every 2 digits (thousands, lakhs, crores).
Does it support decimal paisa amounts?
Yes. Decimal values (such as .50 or .75) are converted to paisa in both English ("and fifty paisa") and Nepali ("र पचास पैसा").
What comes after Crore in Nepali?
After Crore (करोड - 10⁷) comes Dasha Crore (10⁸), Arab (अरब - 10⁹), Dasha Arab (10¹⁰), Kharba (खर्ब - 10¹¹), and Dasha Kharba (10¹²).
