Count notes and coins by denomination: note counting with the total in figures and words
Estimates only, not financial advice. What you type stays on your device. Checked against sources on 30 Oct 2026.Type how many notes and coins of each denomination you hold, from ₹500 down to ₹1, and the calculator gives each row total, the grand total in figures and in Indian words, and the number of notes and coins. A split mode turns any amount into the fewest pieces, so ₹7,865 needs 20.

A shopkeeper closing the counter, a cashier handing over a shift and a treasurer filling a bank deposit slip all do the same sum: pieces of each note times its value, added up, checked against what the book says. This calculator does that sum as you type. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account; the counts stay in your browser.
Counting mode. There is a row for every note and coin in use: ₹500, ₹200, ₹100, ₹50, ₹20 and ₹10 notes, and ₹20, ₹10, ₹5, ₹2 and ₹1 coins. Press Enter to move to the next row, so a count can be typed without touching the mouse. Each row shows its total, and the result gives the grand total, the same amount in words on the lakh and crore scale ("Rupees Nine Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Seven Only"), and the number of notes and of coins. Copy the summary as text, or print it for the register.
Split mode. Enter an amount and get the fewest notes and coins that make it, largest note first. The rule is proved in the tests against an exhaustive search for every amount up to ₹10,000.
Which notes are legal tender. According to the Reserve Bank of India, notes of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500 are issued now. Old ₹5 and ₹2 notes are no longer printed but remain legal tender, as do ₹1 notes issued by the Government. Coins in use are 50 paise, ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20. These extra rows sit behind one switch.
The ₹2000 note. RBI announced its withdrawal from circulation on 19 May 2023. It is still legal tender, but banks no longer exchange it: only the 19 RBI Issue Offices do, or you can send it to them by India Post. By 29 November 2025, 98.39% had come back. The row is off by default and can be switched on.
What it does not do. It does not detect counterfeit notes, keep a daily ledger or check a cash book. Coins are legal tender only up to ₹1,000 in one payment (50 paise coins up to ₹10) under the Coinage Act, 2011, so a bank or shop may refuse more.
Sort the notes and coins into piles by value, count the pieces in each pile, and multiply by the value: 12 notes of ₹500 make ₹6,000. Add every pile for the total. This calculator does the multiplying and adding as you type each count, and gives the total in figures, in words and as a note count.
Yes. The Reserve Bank of India withdrew ₹2000 notes from circulation on 19 May 2023, but they continue to be legal tender. Ordinary bank branches stopped exchanging them in October 2023; the 19 RBI Issue Offices still exchange or deposit them, and notes can be sent there by India Post. Check rbi.org.in for the current position.
RBI issues notes of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500, and coins of 50 paise, ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20. Old ₹5 and ₹2 notes are no longer printed but remain legal tender, and ₹1 notes are issued by the Government of India. Coins of 25 paise and less are not legal tender.
Take as many of the largest note as fit, then move down to the next one with what is left, and so on to the ₹1 coin. For Indian denominations this greedy rule always gives the fewest pieces. ₹7,865 becomes fifteen ₹500 notes, one each of ₹200, ₹100, ₹50 and ₹10, and a ₹5 coin: twenty pieces.
Under section 6 of the Coinage Act, 2011, coins of ₹1 and above are legal tender for up to ₹1,000 in one transaction, and 50 paise coins for up to ₹10. Beyond those limits a shop or person may refuse coins, though accepting more is allowed. Banks have no limit on coins deposited into an account.
Count each note and coin row here and the total appears in words on the lakh and crore scale, ready for a deposit slip: ₹9,587 reads Rupees Nine Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Seven Only. For writing words me kaise likhe on a cheque in Hindi or another language, the Rupees to Words Converter spells any amount out.
