Read a rate in context
The buy rate is what the quoted provider pays to buy foreign currency; the sell rate is what it charges to sell it. These are reference rates published by Nepal Rastra Bank, not a quote from your retail bank.
Check the unit
A rate can apply to 1, 10 or 100 units of a currency. Always read the unit column. For example, an INR quote of NPR 160 per 100 INR is NPR 1.60 per INR.
Publication dates and differences
If a rate for today is unavailable, the tool shows the latest publication found within the previous seven days. Bank margins, fees, transaction type and timing can affect the amount actually received.
To compare two currency quotes, make their unit and direction match first. A rate for 100 units cannot be compared directly with a rate for one unit, and buying currency is different from selling it.
Which rate applies when I exchange foreign currency for NPR?
Read buy and sell from the quoted provider’s perspective. When the provider buys your foreign currency, its buy rate is the relevant direction. When it sells foreign currency to you, the sell rate applies. Confirm the actual transaction quote and fees with your provider.
Divide the NPR rate by the listed unit, then multiply by the foreign-currency amount. A hypothetical NPR 160 per 100 units gives NPR 1.60 per unit. The unit column and the history chart’s unit label are part of the rate, not optional details.
The source may not have a publication for today when the page is checked. This tool uses the latest available publication within its seven-day lookup window and displays that publication date. Refreshing the page does not turn an older publication into a new rate.
Not necessarily. These are NRB reference rates, not a binding retail quote. Margins, fees, transaction size, product and timing can change the amount you receive. Compare the final NPR amount after charges, not only the headline rate.
