About Currency Unit Converter Calculator

The South Asian numbering system groups by two digits after the first three, so a lakh is 100,000 and a crore 10,000,000. Twenty-five lakh is 2.5 million, and 100 lakh makes one crore. Because western reporting uses millions and billions, financial statements crossing between the two systems need this conversion constantly.

Formulas

South Asian units

1 lakh = 100,000; 1 crore = 100 lakh = 10,000,000

Western units

1 million = 10 lakh; 1 billion = 100 crore

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 5 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many crore is a billion?

One hundred crore, since a billion is 1,000,000,000 and a crore is 10,000,000.

Why the two-digit grouping?

It reflects the traditional Indian names for each power, which advance every hundredfold above a thousand rather than every thousandfold.
