About this tool
Round an amount to a cash-friendly figure and split it into the fewest ₹ notes and coins for payouts and envelopes.
This calculator does the two jobs a cashier does before opening the cash box: it rounds an amount to a figure that can physically be paid — a whole rupee, or a ₹5, ₹10, ₹50 or ₹100 step — and then splits that figure into the smallest possible number of notes and coins. The split uses a minimum-piece dynamic program rather than simple largest-first counting, so it still returns a correct answer when a denomination has run out; ₹600 with only ₹500 and ₹200 notes available comes back as three ₹200 notes instead of failing. Denominations follow the Reserve Bank of India series in circulation.

A minimum-piece search finds the true smallest count, including when you switch denominations off.
The gap between the amount due and the amount paid is stated separately so it can be booked to a rounding account.
Enter the number of identical envelopes and get both the per-packet count and the total notes to draw from the bank.
Banknotes of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200 and ₹500, and circulating coins of ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20. The ₹2000 note was withdrawn from circulation on 19 May 2023: it remains legal tender but is no longer issued, so most cash boxes no longer hold it.
Coins of 25 paise and below ceased to be legal tender on 30 June 2011, and the 50 paise coin is rarely available at a counter, so a paise balance cannot be handed over. Settling to the whole rupee and booking the small difference to a rounding-off account is the standard practice.
Take the largest denomination that fits, repeat on what is left, and keep going down. That largest-first method gives the fewest pieces for the standard Indian set because it is a canonical system, but it can fail on a restricted set — ₹600 from only ₹500 and ₹200 notes needs three ₹200 notes, which largest-first never finds.
Yes. The Reserve Bank withdrew it from circulation on 19 May 2023 under its clean note policy, and it continues to be legal tender; deposits and exchange at RBI issue offices remained available after the initial bank window closed. It is simply no longer printed or dispensed, so payouts are planned without it.
