The rates on this page are the official reference rates published by Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), Nepal's central bank. NRB sets and publishes these rates once each banking day, and they are the benchmark every commercial bank, remittance company and money changer in Nepal works from. The "as of" date above the table tells you exactly which day's official sheet you are looking at.
The buy rate is what a bank pays you in rupees when you sell foreign currency — remittance dollars converted to NPR, say. The sell rate is what you pay when buying foreign currency from a bank, like dollars before a trip abroad. The sell rate is always slightly higher; the gap is the bank's margin. Commercial banks quote their own counter rates around these NRB reference figures, so treat this table as the benchmark and expect small differences at the counter.
Most currencies are quoted per single unit — 1 US dollar, 1 euro. Some are quoted per larger block: the Indian rupee is quoted per 100 (reflecting its fixed peg of NPR 1.60 per INR 1, i.e. 160 per 100), and the Japanese yen and South Korean won are also quoted per 10 or 100 units. Always check the unit column before comparing rates, or a yen rate will look wildly wrong.
The Nepali rupee has been pegged to the Indian rupee at 1.60 NPR per INR since 1993. Because of this fixed peg, the INR row never changes, and every other currency's NPR rate is effectively driven by that currency's movement against the Indian rupee. The US dollar rate you see here therefore mirrors the USD–INR market, scaled by the peg.
NRB publishes rates for each banking day, typically setting them the previous evening. Rates stay fixed on Saturdays and public holidays when banks are closed — the table shows the most recent published sheet. Rates on this page refresh automatically when NRB publishes a new day; for large transactions, confirm the counter rate with your bank on the day.
Today's official NRB buy and sell rates for the US dollar are in the table above — the buy rate applies when converting dollars to rupees, the sell rate when buying dollars. Bank counters add a small margin around these reference figures.
Convention: because the peg makes INR 1 = NPR 1.60 exactly, NRB quotes it per 100 units (NPR 160) to avoid decimals. Divide by 100 for the per-rupee figure.
Remittance payouts convert foreign currency to rupees, so the buy rate applies. Remittance companies often quote their own slightly different rate — compare it against the NRB buy rate here to judge the spread.
No. NRB publishes one official sheet per banking day and it holds for that entire day. Market rates at money changers can drift intraday, but the official reference stays fixed until the next sheet.
NRB publishes rates only for banking days. On Saturdays and public holidays there is no new sheet, so the table carries the most recent published one — the same rate banks are working from.
Yes — the currency converter on the homepage uses these same NRB rates. Enter an amount in any listed currency and it converts through NPR using the buy or sell side as appropriate.
