Nepali age calculator

Age by BS birth year, 2040 to 2080

How old is someone born in 2060 BS? It depends on whether their birthday has come yet this year. Find the birth year, then read the first column if the birthday has passed and the second if it has not. For the exact age in years, months and days, use the calculator above.

A BS year starts in mid-April, so each BS year covers parts of two AD years. Someone born in Magh 2060 was born in January 2004, not 2003.

Why a Nepali age is not the subtraction you expect

A Bikram Sambat month is not 30 days. It runs from 29 to 32, it differs from one year to the next, and the sequence is published rather than derived. So the months-and-days part of an age cannot be worked out by dividing; it has to be counted against the real length of the month before the date you are asking about.

That is what this page does, using the same published month table as the date converter and the calendar. Enter a date in either calendar and the arithmetic happens on the Nepali one, because that is the calendar the form is dated in.

The age a form wants is rarely today's

Application forms ask for your age as on a date — the closing date, the first day of the session, the date of the examination. A birthday falling between that date and the day you fill the form changes the answer by a whole year, and it is the single commonest error on a handwritten application.

So the date you are being asked about is an input here rather than an assumption. Set it to the closing date on the notice and the answer above is the number that belongs in the box.

What happens to a birthday on 30 Falgun

Some BS months have 29 days in one year and 30 in another, so a person born on the 30th of such a month has years where that date does not exist. The next-birthday and milestone rows fall back to the last day the month actually has that year, which is what offices do in practice — and the page marks the row rather than silently shifting your birthday into the next month.

Days lived, and why it is not years × 365

The total days figure counts the real calendar between the two dates, leap years and short months included. Multiplying years by 365 drifts by about a week per three decades, which is enough to matter when the number is being used to check a service record or a pension date.

About to apply somewhere?

If the form you are filling is an engineering admission form, the ICE admissions page sets out what else it will ask for, and the application itself takes about three minutes.

आफ्नो उमेर नेपाली पात्रोअनुसार कति भयो?

नेपालका फारमहरूमा उमेर वर्ष, महिना र दिनमा लेख्नुपर्ने हुन्छ, र त्यो पनि कुनै निश्चित मितिमा कति भयो भनेर। विक्रम सम्बतको महिना २९ देखि ३२ दिनसम्मको हुने भएकाले साधारण घटाउले सही उत्तर दिँदैन।

यहाँ आफ्नो जन्म मिति (विक्रम सम्बत वा अङ्ग्रेजी, जुनसुकै) र कुन मितिमा उमेर चाहिएको हो सो राख्नुहोस्। ठ्याक्कै कति वर्ष कति महिना कति दिन भयो, कुल कति दिन बाँच्नुभयो, जन्मेको बार कुन थियो र १८, २१, ३५ वा ४० वर्ष कहिले पुग्नुहुन्छ भन्ने तल देखिन्छ।
