Preeti

Covers standard Preeti typing (consonants, matras, reph, subjoined ra, digits, punctuation). A small number of unusual conjuncts may not round-trip perfectly -- this is a known limitation of the legacy Preeti encoding itself, not just this tool.

Likhit (Written) Exam Practice

A 20-question randomized mock test covering the same topics as DoTM's driving licence written exam.

Each attempt draws 20 random questions from our practice bank. You will see your score and the correct answer, with a short explanation, for every question at the end.

These are original practice questions written to mirror DoTM's Likhit exam topics -- they are not a copy of the official question bank. Use this for practice, not as a guarantee of what will appear on the real exam.

Energy charge—
Minimum / service charge—
Net payable—

Split across sub-meters / tenants

Enter each tenant's own sub-meter reading (units). The total bill above is split proportionally to actual usage, not equally.

Estimated using NEA's published FY 2082/83 domestic tariff slabs. The 60A bracket is extrapolated pending an official published figure. Your actual bill may include rounding, previous dues, or meter-specific adjustments -- always confirm against your official NEA bill.

Full guide & FAQ for NEA Bill →

Annual road tax—
Bluebook renewal fee—
Third-party insurance (baseline)—

Land Area Converter

Convert Nepali land area between Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam, Bigha-Kattha-Dhur, and square feet/metres -- instantly, in your browser.

Ropani - Aana - Paisa - Daam (hill system)

Square feet—
Square metres—
In Bigha-Kattha-Dhur—

Bigha - Kattha - Dhur (Terai system)

Square feet—
Square metres—
In Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam—

Haat (हात) system — plot length x width

Common in the hills for small house plots quoted as "so many haat by so many haat" rather than in Ropani. 1 Haat = 1.5 ft (18 inches).

Square feet—
Square metres—
In Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam—
In Bigha-Kattha-Dhur—

Quick convert: square feet or square metres

Enter either value -- the other one, and both traditional systems, fill in automatically.

In Ropani-Aana-Paisa-Daam—
In Bigha-Kattha-Dhur—

Uses the officially published conversion constants (1 Ropani = 5476 sq.ft; 1 Bigha = 72900 sq.ft; 1 Haat = 1.5 ft; 1 sq.ft = 0.092903 sq.m). Ropani-system figures are standard across the hills; Bigha-system figures are the standard Terai measure; the Haat (hand) figure is the common informal length used to quote small hill house plots -- some districts use slightly different local variants, so confirm against your land document (lalpurja) for legal or transaction purposes.

BMI Calculator

Calculate your Body Mass Index and screening category, using the Asian-population BMI cutoffs.

Your BMI—
Category—
Estimated BMR (calories/day at rest)—
BMI range Category
< 18.5Underweight
18.5 – 22.9Normal
23.0 – 24.9Overweight
≥ 25.0Obese

BMI is a screening measure, not a diagnosis -- it does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. The BMI category cutoffs shown are for adults; they do not apply to children/teens or pregnant women. BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is estimated using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and is only calculated once age and sex are filled in -- it is the calories your body burns at complete rest, not your total daily calorie need. Talk to a doctor for a proper health assessment.

VAT Calculator

Add Nepal's 13% VAT to a price, or work out how much VAT is already included in a bill.

Add VAT to a price

VAT (13%)—
Price including VAT—

Remove VAT from a bill

Price before VAT—
VAT (13%) included—

Uses Nepal's standard flat VAT rate of 13%. A small number of goods/services are zero-rated or VAT-exempt (e.g. basic foodstuffs, health, education) -- this calculator assumes the standard rate applies.

Full guide & FAQ for VAT →

SEE / NEB GPA to Percentage Converter

Convert your SEE or NEB grade-point average (GPA) to an equivalent percentage, using NEB's official formula.

Equivalent percentage—
Letter grade—
GPA range Grade
3.6 – 4.0A+
3.2 – 3.6A
2.8 – 3.2B+
2.4 – 2.8B
2.0 – 2.4C+
1.6 – 2.0C
1.2 – 1.6D+
0.8 – 1.2D
< 0.8NG

Uses NEB's official GPA-to-percentage formula: Percentage = (GPA - 0.5) x 20. This is the same conversion used to state an equivalent percentage on transcripts for institutions that require one -- your actual subject-wise marks may distribute differently.

Full guide & FAQ for SEE/NEB GPA →

Compound Interest / Fixed Deposit Calculator

Work out how a lump sum grows in a bank's fixed deposit (or any compounding investment) over time.

Total interest earned—
Maturity amount—

NEPSE Share Calculator

Estimate broker commission, fees, and capital gains tax on a NEPSE share trade.

Buying shares

Trade value—
Broker commission—
SEBON fee—
Total cost to pay—

Selling shares

Trade value—
Broker commission—
SEBON fee—
DP charge—
Capital gain—
Capital gains tax—
Net amount received—

Broker commission uses SEBON's schedule in effect since Jestha 2081 (0.36% down to 0.24% by trade value), plus the 0.015% SEBON fee and a flat Rs. 25 DP charge on sale. Capital gains tax uses the current Finance Act rates for individuals on listed shares (10% short-term, 7.5% long-term) -- these rates change almost every budget, and CGT on a loss-making sale is not applicable. Confirm the exact current figures with your broker before trading.
