This converter switches instantly between crores and millions, the two units you will meet most often when reading Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepali or Sri Lankan financial figures alongside Western ones. One crore always equals exactly 10 million, so there is no approximation involved, just straightforward multiplication or division by 10. Type a figure into the crores field and the tool immediately shows the equivalent in millions plus the full number; type a figure into the millions field instead and it converts the other way, returning the crore equivalent and its full number. Both fields update as you type, so you can start from whichever unit you already have. A summary panel repeats your crore value, its million equivalent and the full number side by side, a worked example walks through the default calculation of 1 crore x 10 = 10 million, and a reference table lists common values from 0.1 crore up to 100 crore, with the lakh equivalent for each. Use it when comparing Indian company revenue, property prices, government budget figures, or remittance amounts against millions or billions quoted in New Zealand and other Western sources. Because the crore-to-million relationship is a fixed mathematical ratio rather than an exchange rate, every result is exact; it does not convert currency, so pair it with a live NZD to INR rate if you need dollar values too.
Starting value: 1 crore
Formula: millions = crores x 10
Calculation: 1 x 10 = 10 million
In full: 1 crore = 10,000,000 (ten million)
| Crores | Millions | Full number | In lakh |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1 crore | 1 million | 1,000,000 | 10 lakh |
| 0.5 crore | 5 million | 5,000,000 | 50 lakh |
| 1 crore | 10 million | 10,000,000 | 100 lakh |
| 2 crore | 20 million | 20,000,000 | 200 lakh |
| 5 crore | 50 million | 50,000,000 | 500 lakh |
| 10 crore | 100 million | 100,000,000 | 1,000 lakh |
| 50 crore | 500 million | 500,000,000 | 5,000 lakh |
| 100 crore | 1,000 million (1 billion) | 1,000,000,000 | 10,000 lakh |
A crore (also written as crore or koti) is a unit of number in the South Asian numbering system. It equals 10,000,000, or ten million in Western notation. The term is widely used in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka when expressing large amounts of money, population figures, or other quantities.
The South Asian system counts in a different pattern from the Western system. After the first three digits (thousands), it groups digits in pairs rather than triples. The key units are:
Because 1 crore equals exactly 10 million, the conversion is simple multiplication:
| To convert | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Crores to millions | millions = crores x 10 | 3 crore x 10 = 30 million |
| Millions to crores | crores = millions / 10 | 75 million / 10 = 7.5 crore |
Both directions are exact with no rounding needed because the relationship between crore and million is a clean factor of 10.
This conversion is commonly needed when comparing financial data between South Asian markets and Western markets. Indian company revenues, government budgets, and real estate prices are typically stated in crores or lakhs, while international financial reports use millions or billions. Journalists, analysts, and investors working across both systems need a reliable way to convert between the two.
It also comes up for New Zealand businesses and investors with interests in South Asian markets, as well as for individuals sending money to or receiving money from India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh where local banks and remittance services may quote amounts in crores or lakhs.
A common source of confusion is the relationship between crore and billion. Since 1 billion = 1,000 million and 1 crore = 10 million, it follows that 1 billion = 100 crore. So when an Indian company reports earnings of 500 crore, that is 5,000 million, or 5 billion in Western usage.
Method: Conversion is exact by definition. 1 crore = 10,000,000 (ten million). Multiply crores by 10 to get millions; divide millions by 10 to get crores. South Asian numbering system definitions per Reserve Bank of India and common usage across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
