Hindi Number & Date Converter
Convert numbers into Devanagari numerals and Hindi words, and dates into Hindi format.
Official Hindi documents, forms and currency use Devanagari numerals and Hindi number words, which do not follow a simple pattern the way English numbers do. This converter produces both, along with dates in Hindi format.

What the Hindi Number & Date Converter does
Devanagari numerals — ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ — map directly onto the Latin digits and appear on Indian currency notes, official Hindi forms and government publications.
Hindi number words are harder. Unlike English, where twenty-one is simply "twenty" plus "one", Hindi has a distinct word for every number from one to ninety-nine — इक्कीस for 21, बयालीस for 42, उन्यासी for 79. Above that, the lakh and crore scale applies as लाख and करोड़.
How to use this tool
- Choose whether you are converting a number or a date.
- For numbers, enter the value and tick the currency option if you need रुपये wording for a document.
- Read the Hindi words and the Devanagari numerals, and use the table for other forms.
- For dates, pick the date and choose long, numeric or full format with the weekday.
- Copy the result directly into your document.
Formula and method
DEVANAGARI NUMERALS
0→० 1→१ 2→२ 3→३ 4→४ 5→५ 6→६ 7→७ 8→८ 9→९
A direct one-to-one substitution of each digit.
HINDI NUMBER WORDS
1–99 each number has its own distinct word
सौ hundred
हज़ार thousand
लाख lakh (10⁵)
करोड़ crore (10⁷)
DATE FORMAT
Day (Devanagari) + Hindi month name + Year (Devanagari)
Indian convention is day/month/year throughout.
Worked example
Example: 1,25,050
| Devanagari numerals | १,२५,०५० |
| Hindi words | एक लाख पच्चीस हज़ार पचास |
| Currency wording | रुपये एक लाख पच्चीस हज़ार पचास मात्र |
| English words | One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand Fifty |
मात्र at the end serves the same purpose as "Only" in English — it closes the amount so nothing can be added.
What your result means
Devanagari numerals are required on some official Hindi forms and appear on currency notes. They carry exactly the same values as Latin digits.
Hindi number words are used in formal documents, legal drafting in Hindi and on cheques written in Hindi.
The date format follows the Indian day-month-year convention. २५/१२/२०२६ is 25 December, and reading it as 12 December is a common error for those used to American ordering.
Important considerations
- Hindi month names here are transliterations of Gregorian months, which is what official Hindi documents use. The traditional Hindu calendar has entirely different months and does not align with them.
- Some documents use Latin digits with Hindi text, which is perfectly acceptable and increasingly common.
- Regional variation exists in Hindi number words, particularly in the forms used between 40 and 90. The forms used here are standard Hindi.
- For a cheque written in Hindi, मात्र closes the amount just as "Only" does in English.
- Fonts matter. Devanagari numerals need a font with Devanagari support, which most modern systems have but some older printers do not.
- Other Indian scripts have their own numeral forms. This tool covers Devanagari, which is used for Hindi, Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit.
Limitations of this tool
- It covers Devanagari script only. Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati and other Indian scripts have distinct numeral systems not included here.
- Hindi number words are given in standard Hindi; regional and dialectal variants differ.
- Dates use Gregorian months transliterated into Hindi, not the traditional Hindu calendar.

The order is the same — day, month, year — but the numerals may be Devanagari and the month names are Hindi transliterations. Note that Indian convention is day first, unlike American month-first ordering.
