Nepal Foreign Exchange Rates (NRB)

The NRB exchange rate is the official daily foreign currency table published by Nepal Rastra Bank. It lists buy and sell rates in Nepali Rupees (NPR) for major currencies. Banks and remittance companies use it as a reference, though actual transaction rates will differ due to spreads.

The live USD to NPR rate is shown in the table above, sourced directly from the NRB API. The buy rate is what the bank pays when you sell USD to them; the sell rate is what you pay to buy USD from the bank. Sell is always higher than buy.

NRB publishes rates on Nepal government working days only. No rates are issued on public holidays or weekends. This page automatically falls back to the most recent published date — today, yesterday, or 2 days ago — so you always see the latest available data.

Because 1 INR ≈ 1.6 NPR, showing it per single unit would give a number like 1.60, which is hard to read precisely. NRB quotes INR per 100 INR so the table shows ≈160. The Unit column always tells you the denomination used — check it before using any rate.

The buy rate (bid) is the price at which a bank purchases foreign currency from you. The sell rate (ask) is the price at which you buy foreign currency from the bank. Sell is always higher — the difference (spread) is how banks earn on currency exchange. NRB rates are the official reference; actual bank rates include additional margin.

Use NRB rates as a reference only. Remittance providers, banks, and exchange counters all apply their own spreads and fees. For invoicing, confirm the agreed rate with your bank or client. For accounting purposes, IRD accepts NRB rates as the reference for recording foreign currency transactions in your books.
