Using this page
Work out the change when something is paid for with a note: a pencil box costs ₹36, you pay ₹50, so the change is ₹14. These sheets use whole rupees and Indian notes, so they suit Class 2 and Class 3 children learning to count on and subtract money. Choose how big the payment note is: ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 or ₹100.
Tips
- Use real coins alongside the sheet when you can.
- Count from the biggest coin or note down to the smallest.
- Play shop at home: put prices on a few items and take turns giving change.
- Talk about how money is written: dollars and cents, or pounds and pence.
Worked example
It costs ₹36 and you pay ₹50. Count up from the price: ₹36 + ₹4 = ₹40, then ₹10 more makes ₹50. The change is ₹4 + ₹10 = ₹14. Shopkeepers often count change this way.
Common mistakes
Subtracting the tens and ones the wrong way round. Count up from the price, or regroup a ten.
Giving change bigger than the note. The change is always less than the amount paid.

Common questions
Why are there no paise?
The sheets use whole rupees so that children can focus on counting on and subtracting. Prices in paise are best added later, in Class 3 and above.
Are the coins real pictures?
No. They are simple labelled circles and rectangles, so children read the value rather than learn the design, and the sheets print clearly in black and white.
Can I print the same worksheet again?
Yes. Note the worksheet number printed at the top, or keep the link in your browser's address bar, which ends with that number. Entering it later gives the same questions and answers.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, and nothing you choose is sent anywhere: the sheets are made in your browser.
