USD to NPR conversion table
Common amounts at the current mid-market rate of 1 USD = 152.79 NPR.
Mid-market rate — the midpoint banks trade at, before any provider adds a margin. What you actually receive is below.
What you actually get for 1,000 USD
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 USD = 152.79 NPR, a perfect conversion of 1,000 USD would be 152,788 NPR. Here is what 16 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.
On 1,000 USD, the gap between the best and worst option here is 4,375 NPR — the same money, converted on the same day. That difference is the fee plus the margin each service builds into its rate, and it is the only part of this page you can do anything about. How exchange-rate markups work.
Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer, not a live quote — promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Rows marked est. use the provider's general figure, and USD est. one measured for USD sends but not for NPR specifically. Neither is ranked cheapest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current USD to NPR exchange rate?
The US Dollar to Nepalese Rupee rate updates continuously with the forex market, and the converter above refreshes every 30 minutes. One feature makes the rupee unusually predictable: the Nepalese rupee is pegged to the Indian rupee at a fixed 1.60 NPR to 1 INR. The dollar rate therefore tracks USD/INR almost exactly, so if you follow the Indian rupee you already know roughly where the Nepalese one is going.
How many Nepalese Rupees will I get for $100?
That depends on the live rate at the moment you send, which the converter above shows. Remember the quoted mid-market rate is not usually what a transfer service gives you: most build a margin into their own rate on top of any fee, so compare the rupees actually delivered rather than the headline rate.
Why does the Nepalese Rupee move with the Indian Rupee?
Nepal has pegged its currency to India's since 1993 at 1.60 NPR per INR, and Nepal Rastra Bank maintains that peg. India is Nepal's dominant trading partner, so the arrangement stabilises the bulk of Nepal's trade. The practical consequence for anyone sending money is that Nepalese rupee news is largely Indian rupee news.
What is the cheapest way to send US Dollars to Nepal?
Compare the total cost, not the fee alone: a service advertising no fee can take more in its exchange rate than one charging a few dollars on a fair rate. Bank-funded app transfers are normally cheaper than a bank wire or a cash counter. Check the rupee figure your family will actually receive before you confirm.
Can I spend US Dollars in Nepal?
The Nepalese rupee is the only legal tender, though some tourist hotels and trekking operators quote in dollars. Nepal operates exchange controls and the rupee is not freely convertible abroad, so bring dollars to exchange locally rather than expecting to buy rupees before you travel.
