Writing an amount in words

Nepal uses the lakh and crore system: the first three digits form the hundreds group, then every two digits form a group (हजार, लाख, करोड, अर्ब, खर्ब). So 1,23,456 is read as एक लाख तेइस हजार चार सय छपन्न. The tool writes the amount in Nepali and in English, adds रुपैयाँ and पैसा, and ends with मात्र / "Only", the way amounts are written on cheques.

Always check cheques and legal forms. Nepali number words have spelling variants (for example 28 and 49), and banks may expect their own form. Read the result and compare it with your bank's or office's requirement before you write it on a document.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write an amount in words on a cheque in Nepal?

Write the rupees in words, then the paisa if there is any, and finish with मात्र (Only), so nobody can add digits. This tool produces that wording in Nepali and in English. Check it against your bank's rules before you sign.

What is the largest number it supports?

Up to 13 digits before the decimal point, which is up to the खर्ब (Kharab) range. Amounts can have at most two decimal places, for paisa.

Does it accept Nepali digits and commas?

Yes. You can type 1,23,456 or १२३४५६. Commas and spaces are ignored.

Why is the English wording using Lakh and Crore?

Nepali cheques and forms use the lakh and crore system, so the English words use Lakh, Crore, Arab and Kharab instead of million and billion.
