About Nepali Age Calculator
The Nepali Age Calculator allows you to calculate your exact age based on the Nepali calendar system, also known as Bikram Sambat (BS). This age calculator Nepali tool converts your BS birth date to the Gregorian (AD) system and calculates your precise age in years, months, and days.
How the Bikram Sambat Age Calculator Works
This calculator takes your birth date in the Nepali calendar format (year/साल, month/महिना, day/गते) and calculates your current age based on the current Nepali date. The calculation accounts for the varying month lengths in the Nepali calendar system, which differ from the Gregorian calendar. The complex conversion between BS and AD dates is handled automatically, considering leap years and different month lengths in both calendar systems.

Understanding the Bikram Sambat Calendar System
The Nepali calendar (Bikram Sambat) is approximately 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar. For example, the year 2080 BS corresponds roughly to 2023-2024 AD. The Nepali new year typically begins in mid-April (around Baisakh 1), not January 1 as in the Gregorian calendar. This difference in new year dates can make your age appear different between the two calendar systems.
The Bikram Sambat calendar has different month lengths compared to the Gregorian calendar, with months varying between 29 to 32 days. This variation makes manual age calculation particularly challenging, which is why our automated calculator is so valuable for accurate results.

Running age (चल्दो उमेर) in Nepal refers to the year of life you are currently living through — always one more than your completed age (पूरा भएको उमेर). If you have completed 25 full years since birth, your running age is 26. Many Nepali government forms and Lok Sewa Aayog applications specify whether they require completed age or running age, so read the form instructions carefully before filling.
What is the age limit for Lok Sewa (Public Service Commission) in Nepal?
The Lok Sewa Aayog (Public Service Commission) age limits depend on the position level. For most non-gazetted posts such as Kharidar and Nayab Subba, the age range is 18 to 35 completed BS years. For Level 6 gazetted posts like Section Officer, the minimum is 21 years. For senior posts such as Under Secretary, the maximum is 45 years. All ages are in the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar — use the Nepali age calculator above to verify eligibility.

Use the Nepali age calculator above to confirm you have reached 16 BS years before visiting your District Administration Office (DAO) for the application.
Running Age vs Completed Age in Nepal
When filling Nepali government forms, you will encounter two terms for age: completed age (पूरा भएको उमेर) and running age (चल्दो उमेर).
Completed Age (पूरा भएको उमेर)
The number of full years you have already lived. If you turned 25 years last Baisakh, your completed age is 25. This is the age shown by the Nepali age calculator above.
Running Age (चल्दो उमेर)
The year of life you are currently living through. It is always your completed age plus one. If your completed age is 25, your running age is 26 — because you are in your 26th year.
Which age to use on forms?
- Lok Sewa Aayog (PSC) forms — typically completed age
- Citizenship application — completed age at time of application
- Voter registration — must have completed 18 BS years
- Always read form instructions carefully — they specify which type is required
