To calculate total cash, multiply the quantity of each denomination by its value, then sum all amounts. For example: 10 notes of ₹500 = ₹5,000, 5 notes of ₹100 = ₹500, total = ₹5,500. Our calculator does this automatically for all denominations.
What denominations are currently valid in India?
Current valid Indian currency includes notes of ₹2000 (being phased out), ₹500, ₹200, ₹100, ₹50, ₹20, ₹10 and coins of ₹10, ₹5, ₹2, ₹1. Old ₹1000 and ₹500 notes (pre-2016) are no longer legal tender.

How often should businesses count cash?
