What these tools assume

Traditional units and calendars come with conventions, and each page states the one it uses.

• The date converters cover 2000–2083 BS, the years whose month lengths are settled, and refuse dates outside that range rather than estimate them.
• The tola converter uses 11.6638 g per tola, with 16 aana and 100 lal to the tola. Some markets divide the tola differently.
• The land converter uses the standard 74-foot ropani and 270-foot bigha. It converts areas; it does not check or value a document.
• The typing tool follows stated spelling rules rather than a dictionary, and the amount converter uses one consistent spelling of the Nepali number words.
