Currency Converter
Convert NPR to USD, INR, AED and more with send-money-abroad estimates
What is Currency Converter?
Nepal has a fixed exchange rate with the Indian Rupee (1 INR = 1.6 NPR) set by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), while rates against other currencies like USD, AED, GBP, AUD, and MYR float daily based on NRB's official fixing. For the millions of Nepali workers abroad — especially in Gulf countries, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and Australia — knowing the exact NPR equivalent of their foreign earnings is critical for remittance planning. This Currency Converter uses NRB-published exchange rates to give you accurate NPR conversions for all major currencies. It is built for real-world scenarios: a worker in Dubai wants to know how many Nepali Rupees their AED salary converts to, a student in Australia needs to estimate tuition fees in NPR, or a family in Kathmandu wants to check whether the dollar rate has moved before receiving a wire transfer. Unlike generic global converters that use interbank mid-market rates, this tool reflects the rates that Nepali banks and remittance companies actually use, giving you a much more realistic picture. Nepal processes over $10 billion in annual remittance inflows, making exchange rates a daily concern for lakhs of households. The tool also helps importers and small business owners who deal in foreign currencies estimate costs in NPR. Whether you are sending money home through IME, Prabhu Remit, or Western Union, or simply checking today's rate before visiting a money exchange counter in New Road, this converter gives you the NRB rate instantly without needing to navigate the central bank's website.
How to Use Currency Converter
Choose the source currency
Select the foreign currency you want to convert from — USD, INR, AED, MYR, GBP, AUD, KRW, JPY, and other popular remittance currencies are available.
Enter the amount
Type the amount in the foreign currency. For example, enter 1000 if you want to know how much 1,000 AED equals in NPR.
View the NPR equivalent
The tool instantly calculates and displays the equivalent amount in Nepali Rupees based on the current NRB exchange rate.
Compare buying and selling rates
Check both the buying and selling rates — the buying rate is what you receive when converting foreign currency to NPR, and the selling rate is what you pay when purchasing foreign currency.

Tips & Best Practices
- 1
NRB updates exchange rates every morning around 10 AM Nepal time — check after that for the day's official rate.
- 2
Remittance companies like IME and Prabhu often offer slightly better rates than the NRB mid-rate — use this tool as a baseline and compare with their quoted rates.
- 3
If you are sending money from the Gulf (AED, SAR, QAR), remember that actual received amount depends on the remittance company's spread, which is usually Rs 0.10–0.30 per unit less than the NRB rate.
- 4
For large transactions like property purchases or education fees, even a Rs 0.50 difference in exchange rate can mean thousands of rupees — always check the rate on the day of transfer.
