Nepali date conversion — frequently asked questions

How do I convert Bikram Sambat to AD?

Enter the BS date — year, month and day — and the English date appears immediately. Bikram Sambat runs roughly 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar, but the exact offset shifts through the year because BS month lengths vary, so the conversion has to be looked up rather than calculated by adding a fixed number.

Is Bikram Sambat 56 or 57 years ahead of AD?

Both, depending on the month. From roughly mid-April to mid-January the difference is 56 years; from mid-January to mid-April it is 57. This is why adding a flat number to the year gives the wrong answer for several months of every year, and why a lookup-based converter is necessary.

Why do Nepali months have different numbers of days each year?

Bikram Sambat is a solar calendar whose months follow the sun's passage through the zodiac rather than a fixed count. A month can run from 29 to 32 days, and the same month differs between years. The lengths are published in advance, which is why accurate converters carry year-by-year data rather than a formula.

How do I convert my date of birth from BS to AD for a passport?

Convert the exact BS date printed on your citizenship certificate, then use the resulting English date on the form. Do not estimate by subtracting 56 or 57 years — a birthday falling between mid-January and mid-April converts differently from one later in the year, and a mismatch between documents is a common cause of application delays.

What is today's Nepali date?

The converter opens on today's date in both calendars, along with the weekday in Nepali and English. Nepal keeps a single time zone at UTC+5:45, so the Nepali date changes at midnight Nepal time regardless of where you are reading this from.

Does this converter work offline?

Yes. The conversion data is bundled with the page, so once it has loaded it keeps working with no connection and nothing is sent to any server. No sign-up is required and no date you enter ever leaves your device.
