Convert numbers between Lakh, Crore, and other Indian and international units.
How to Use the Lakh to Crore Converter
Enter the "Value" you want to convert.
Select the "From" unit and the "To" unit.
Click "Convert" to see the converted value.
How the Conversion Works
Each unit has a fixed size in ones: thousand = 1,000, lakh = 1,00,000, million = 10,00,000, crore = 1,00,00,000 and billion = 1,00,00,00,000. The converter multiplies your value by the size of the From unit, divides by the size of the To unit, and shows the answer with Indian comma grouping and up to 6 decimal places.
It converts the count only, not the currency. ₹320 crore and $320 crore are both 3.2 billion of their own currency; for rupee to dollar conversion you need an exchange rate as well.

Everyday Examples
Salary packages: a job offer of 18.5 LPA (lakh per annum) is 18.5 ÷ 10 = 1.85 million rupees a year, which helps when comparing with packages quoted abroad.
Property and loans: a flat priced at ₹2.75 crore is 275 lakh; a ₹12.5 lakh car loan is 0.125 crore.
Company news: when a funding round of $3.2 billion is reported in Indian media, it is often written as 320 crore dollars, or converted to rupees at the day's exchange rate.
Government figures: budgets are often quoted in lakh crore, which this tool has no unit for. ₹50 lakh crore means 50,00,000 crore, so enter 5000000 with From set to Crore and To set to Billion. The answer is 50,000 billion rupees.
Common Mix-ups
Taking 1 billion as 1,000 crore. It is 100 crore; 1,000 crore is 10 billion.
Taking 1 million as 1 lakh. A million is 10 lakh.
Reading abbreviations loosely. In Indian reports "L" or "lac" usually means lakh and "Cr" means crore, while in international reports "M" is million and "B" or "bn" is billion. Check which system a table uses before comparing figures.

Yes. Decimals work in both directions, so 2.5 crore converts to 250 lakh, and 0.75 lakh converts to 75,000 ones. Results are shown with up to 6 decimal places.
LPA stands for lakh per annum, the yearly cost-to-company figure. 12 LPA is ₹12,00,000 a year. The monthly in-hand amount is lower, because the package usually includes employer contributions and other components, and tax is deducted.
