How the Nepali calendar works
Nepal's official calendar is Bikram Sambat, written BS. The year starts in mid-April with the month of Baisakh and ends with Chaitra, so every Nepali year covers parts of two English years: 2083 BS is April 2026 to April 2027. Months are 29 to 32 days long. Their lengths are not the same from one year to the next, which is why converting a date takes a table and cannot be done with a formula.
You will meet BS dates on Nepali visas and permits, bus tickets, newspapers, bills and government forms. Festival dates are announced in BS too: the festival calendar for 2083 lists every festival and public holiday in both calendars.

Common questions
What year is it in Nepal?
It is 2083 BS (Bikram Sambat) from April 14, 2026 to April 13, 2027. The Nepali year starts in mid-April, so it runs across two English years, and the next year, 2084, begins the day after.
How do I convert BS to AD without a converter?
For the year, subtract 57 from the BS year for dates from Baisakh to mid-Poush (mid-April to the end of December), and subtract 56 for mid-Poush to the end of Chaitra (January to mid-April). The exact day needs a table, because Nepali months are 29 to 32 days long and the lengths change every year.
Why is the Nepali calendar 56 years ahead?
Bikram Sambat counts from an era that began in 57 BC, so it runs 56 years and about eight and a half months ahead of the Gregorian calendar. It is a solar calendar with twelve months from Baisakh to Chaitra, and it is the official calendar of Nepal, used on government documents, citizenship certificates and school records.
Why does the converter stop at 2083?
The length of each Nepali month is fixed year by year by Nepal's calendar committee and published shortly before the year begins. Converters that go further are guessing, and they disagree with each other from 2084 onward. This one covers 2000 to 2083 BS exactly, and each new year is added when its calendar is published.
The month table behind this converter was checked day by day against two open-source Nepali date libraries and against the dates in the government's 2083 holiday notice. For a legal document, confirm the date with the office that issued it. Need festival wishes for a date you found? Try the greeting card maker.
