About the Nepali calendar (Bikram Sambat)
Bikram Sambat (BS), also written Vikram Samvat, is Nepal’s official calendar. Government documents, citizenship certificates, school certificates and many birth dates in Nepal are written in BS, which is why you often need to convert them to AD (the Gregorian calendar) for passports, visas and university applications abroad.
- BS runs roughly 56 years and 8½ months ahead of AD. That is why the quick “add 57” trick goes wrong for dates between January and mid-April.
- The BS year starts on 1 Baisakh, in mid-April (13 or 14 April). 1 Baisakh 2083 was 14 April 2026.
- BS months have 29 to 32 days, and the lengths change from year to year. They come from astronomical calculation and are fixed in Nepal’s official calendar, so no simple formula can convert the dates. A converter needs the real table for every year.
How accurate is this converter?
It uses the published month-length table for 2000–2090 BS (1943–2034 AD). I checked that table against a second, independent source: they agree for every year from 2000 to 2083 BS, and they match known dates such as New Year 2081 (13 April 2024) and Chaitra 13, 2082 (27 March 2026). Dates from 2084 BS onward are marked provisional. For legal documents, always confirm against the official calendar.
