Calculator and Converter for India
Handy tools for Indian shoppers, sellers and students: GST, rupees (INR), lakh and crore, and common units.
GST calculations
GST in India is slab-based, so the rate depends on the product or service and has been revised in recent years. With a rate of 18%, a price of 500 becomes 590 (500 × 1.18). To take GST out of 590, divide by 1.18 and you get 500. The same method works for any rate; just change the number in the percentage calculator. See add and remove VAT for the steps.
Lakh and crore
Indian numbering groups digits differently. 1 lakh is 100,000 and 1 crore is 10,000,000, which equals 100 lakh. So 2.5 crore is 25,000,000, and 7.5 lakh is 750,000. When you compare with international figures, 1 million is 10 lakh and 1 billion is 100 crore.
Discounts and margins
Festival sales often show original and offer prices. Find the real original with reverse percentage: an item at 1,600 after 20% off was 2,000 before. Sellers can compare cost and price in the profit and loss calculator.
Units
India uses the metric system for most things. A tola of gold is 11.66 grams, so 10 grams is about 0.86 tola. Land units such as bigha and gaj vary by state, so confirm the local definition before you calculate area. For centimetres, inches, kilograms and temperature, use the unit converter.
Money
Exchange rates move daily. Check your bank or card rate on the day of transfer, and remember fees can change the final amount.
