Nepali Date Converter

By the Age-Finder team · Last updated 7 November 2026

The Nepali Date Converter changes an English (AD) date into the Nepali Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar and back, from BS 2000 (April 1943) to BS 2090 (2034). The result shows the date in English and in Nepali script, with the weekday and the length of the Nepali month.

How to Use the Nepali Date Converter

Start by picking a direction: English to Nepali (AD to BS) or Nepali to English (BS to AD). For an English date, set the day and month and key in the year; leaving the year blank uses today.

For a Nepali date, set the day and the Nepali month and key in the BS year, for instance 2083. Only the days that month actually has are offered, so you cannot pick a day that does not exist.

Press Convert and the page shows the converted date, the same date in Devanagari with the Nepali weekday, which day of the BS year it is, and how many days that month and that year hold.

The Bikram Sambat Calendar

Bikram Sambat is Nepal’s official calendar. It is about 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar, so 2026 AD runs from the end of BS 2082 into BS 2083. The Nepali New Year, 1 Baisakh, falls in mid-April: BS 2083 began on Tuesday, 14 April 2026.

The calendar is solar: each month begins when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign, which is why Nepali months have between 29 and 32 days and why their lengths change from year to year. There is no simple formula for converting dates, so converters rely on the published calendar.

The summer months, Jestha to Bhadra, are the longest, because the Sun moves slowly through those signs, while the winter months, Kartik to Falgun, are the shortest, at 29 or 30 days. The ranges above come from the converter’s own table, which holds the month lengths for every year from BS 2000 to BS 2090.

BS Years at a Glance

A Nepali year starts in mid-April and ends in mid-April, so every BS year spans two AD years. Here are the six years around the current one:

Notice that the New Year falls on 13 April in some years and 14 April in others: 2081 and 2085 began on 13 April, while 2080, 2082, 2083 and 2084 began on 14 April. The shift comes from the solar year not being a whole number of days.

How the Converter Works

The converter uses a table of month lengths for every year from BS 2000 to 2090, counted from the fixed reference point BS 2000 Baisakh 1, which is 14 April 1943 AD. We built it from an open dataset and compared it with a second, independent dataset: they agree for 87 of the 91 years.

Where they disagreed, for BS 2082 and 2083, we checked the dates against published Nepali records, such as the government’s public holiday list and dated Nepali publications, and used the version that matches them.

For BS 2062 and 2087 the two datasets still differ by a day inside the year, so dates in those years are worth double-checking. Nepal’s official calendar is decided by the Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti and published a year at a time, so dates after BS 2084 are projections and the result says so.

Examples From BS 2082 and 2083

Today, Saturday 7 November 2026, is 21 Kartik 2083. The first two rows show how a month ends: 31 Ashwin is the last day of Ashwin 2082, and the next day is 1 Kartik.

AD to BS in Your Head

For a rough answer, add 56 years to an AD year for dates from January to mid-April, and 57 years from mid-April onwards. October 2026 is therefore in BS 2083, and February 2027 is still in BS 2083. For the exact day, use the converter, because month lengths vary.

Dates in Nepali Script

The result also writes the date in Devanagari, with Nepali numerals and the Nepali name of the weekday, for example २०८३ कार्तिक २०, शुक्रबार. This is the form used on official documents, letters and invitations in Nepal.

Nepali Weekday Names

Saturday is the weekly public holiday in Nepal, so the working week runs from Sunday to Friday.

Nepal’s Fiscal Year

Nepal’s government fiscal year does not start on the Nepali New Year. It runs from 1 Shrawan, in mid-July, to the end of Asar the following year.

Fiscal year 2083/84 therefore begins on 1 Shrawan 2083, which is Friday, 17 July 2026. Use the converter to find the exact AD date of 1 Shrawan in any year.

What other Nepali date converters offer

Most Nepali date converters on the first page return the same dates this one does, so the differences are in what else they offer. The comparison below is against the three Nepali date converters that rank highest.

What is still missing here: the year range stops at BS 2090 while Sajilox and BikramBhujel go to BS 2099, there is no copy button, and there is no days-between-BS-dates calculator. What it adds is the BS year reference table, the fiscal year note, and the days-in-month detail, all checked against the converter’s own table.
