PKR Cash Counter for Pakistani Rupee Notes and Coins

The PKR Cash Counter totals Pakistani rupee notes and coins from the face values actually present. Group the cash by kind and denomination, enter whole non-negative quantities, and verify each subtotal against the physical group. The page's table and calculator come from the same reviewed PKR data, with integer paisa used for exact arithmetic even though current cash has no paisa coin input.

Start with the ordinary whole-rupee set

The default banknote rows are Rs10, Rs20, Rs50, Rs100, Rs500, Rs1,000, and Rs5,000. The default coin rows are Rs1, Rs2, Rs5, and Rs10. These match the State Bank of Pakistan's current-currency identification material, accessed 29 August 2026. Sort by face value and cash kind; design details help identify an item, but do not automatically create a second subtotal.

The calculator records a count, not an authenticity decision. Use SBP's own identification guidance and the cash handler's procedure when a note is unfamiliar, damaged, or doubtful. Keep it apart until its status is resolved rather than using the total as proof that it is genuine or acceptable.

The two Rs75 designs belong behind one Legacy control

SBP issued a predominantly green Rs75 commemorative note for 75 years of Pakistan's independence in 2022 and a predominantly blue Rs75 note for the State Bank's 75th anniversary on 4 July 2023. Its clarification dated 12 October 2023 says both designs are legal tender across Pakistan.

Their events and colours differ, but both pieces are banknotes with the same face value. Enter either design in the single optional Rs75 row. The 2022 issuance circular dated 29 September 2022 describes that independence issue as a limited one-off quantity; do not silently apply that exact production claim to the later blue design.

Legacy here means a valid commemorative denomination that is unusual in an ordinary drawer. It does not mean retired, and it does not mean that a Rs75 row should be enabled when no physical Rs75 note is present.

Do not turn a retired Rs5 note into a current coin

The Rs5 banknote ceased to be legal tender on 1 January 2012. The Rs5 coin is current. Because a note and coin are different physical kinds with different lifecycle decisions, the current coin row cannot be used as a workaround for an old paper note. Keep the paper item outside the operational count.

The same discipline matters below one rupee. SBP's official circular says 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 paisa coins ceased to be legal tender on 1 October 2014, after the public exchange period ended. PKR retains two decimal places in accounting and display, but that formatting rule does not manufacture physical paisa denominations for a drawer.

Do not count a future banknote series early

On 30 January 2024, SBP announced the start of a new-series design process. It also explained that, after a future issuance, the existing series would remain in circulation until a later phased withdrawal decision. A competition, design submission, or approval stage is therefore not proof that a proposed note has become current cash.

For day-to-day work, rely on SBP's current-currency material and the visible lifecycle table here. If an official transition changes that contract, the production currency definition and its verification date should change before the page claims a new piece can be counted.

A reproducible PKR close

Work from Rs5,000 down through the coins, check every denomination subtotal, and compare the finished Cash Count with Expected Cash only after the physical inventory is complete. An Over or Short result calls for an independent recount; it is not a reason to type the expected number into the quantities.

The worked example combines two Rs5,000 notes with three Rs1 coins. The rendered Rs10,003.00 result is produced by the production calculation and formatter, including its normal PKR spacing, rather than copied into the page as an editorial answer.
