How to calculate
Enter a date in the Persian (Jalali) calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Indian (Saka) calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.
- 1
Step 1
Enter the complete Persian (Jalali) date — day, month, and year.
- 2
Step 2
We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Persian (Jalali): the Persian year ≈ 2026 − 621 = 1405; Indian (Saka): the Saka year = 2026 − 78 = 1948.
- 3
Step 3
Read the exact Indian (Saka) date: a year spanning 365–366 days, counted month by month.
Use Cases
Verify a converted Indian (Saka) date
Check any Indian (Saka) date you were given against its Persian (Jalali) origin: enter the Persian (Jalali) date here and compare; a mismatch of a day or more usually means someone applied an average-year shortcut somewhere upstream.
Convert Persian (Jalali) dates to Indian (Saka)
Translate any complete Persian (Jalali) date, day, month, and year, into its exact Indian (Saka) equivalent; the relation applies each system's own epoch and leap rules rather than a fixed offset, so the result holds to the day.
Tips
- 1
Persian (Jalali) and Indian (Saka) dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Persian (Jalali) date and read the Indian (Saka) equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.
- 2
Leap rules differ between the calendars behind Persian (Jalali)–Indian (Saka), so a span that looks like whole years in one system can land a day or two off in another; trust the converted result rather than a fixed mental offset.
- 3
Enter the Persian (Jalali)–Indian (Saka) dates in YYYY-MM-DD format to avoid ambiguity — some conventions read 03/04 as March fourth and others as April third, and a swapped month and day silently shifts every result this page derives.
Common Mistakes
Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Indian (Saka) calendar back to the Persian (Jalali) calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.
Epoch offsets are pair-specific: day zero of Persian (Jalali) and of Indian (Saka) are different dates, and constants borrowed from another calendar pair are silently wrong by days or years. Use the Persian (Jalali) → Indian (Saka) relation itself, not a remembered number.
