How much does an attendance machine cost in Nepal?
A fingerprint attendance machine is listed at NPR 9,793 to NPR 15,500 in Nepal, and a face recognition machine at NPR 18,000 to NPR 42,145, across 12 ZKTeco and Hikvision listings from 6 sellers checked on 4 November 2026. The machine is paid for once. The software is a separate monthly cost: NepalHRM Essential is NPR 60 per active employee a month before 13% VAT, so a 20-person office pays NPR 1,200 a month.
- Face recognition costs more: the cheapest face machine in the table (NPR 18,000) is dearer than the most expensive fingerprint machine (NPR 15,500).
- One model can cost more at one shop than another: the ZKTeco K40 Pro is listed at NPR 14,000 and NPR 15,500, and the Hikvision DS-K1A8503EF-B at NPR 9,793 and NPR 14,500.
- Only Quality Computer's listings say 13% VAT is included. Ask the others for the price with VAT and a VAT bill.
- NepalHRM works with ZKTeco, Hikvision and Sintech (Realand) devices, and biometric devices need Essential or above.

Prices change, and so does stock. These are the prices each seller listed on 4 November 2026, for the machine alone. "VAT not stated" means the listing does not say whether 13% VAT is included. None of the listings we checked was a card-only machine: card reading comes built into fingerprint and face models, as the Type column shows. Each row links to the seller's listing so you can check the number; confirm the price, stock and warranty with the shop before you buy.

The Cheapest Machine Is Not Always the Cheapest
The listed price is the number everyone compares. The costs that arrive later come from what the machine cannot do.
- A machine that cannot send punches over the internet has to be read from a computer in the office
- Punches that stay on the device end up exported and matched to names in Excel every month
- A machine with no battery backup stops taking punches during a power cut
- A listing that does not mention VAT can cost 13% more at the counter
Check Four Things Before You Pay
None of them costs much at the shop, and each one is hard to fix once the machine is on the wall.
What NepalHRM gives you
- The make: NepalHRM works with ZKTeco, Hikvision and Sintech (Realand) devices
- Push: a ZKTeco machine with Cloud Server (ADMS) settings or a Hikvision terminal with HTTP Listening sends punches itself, with no office computer
- A battery, if the power goes during working hours where you are
- A VAT bill and the warranty terms from the seller, in writing
Six Things That Move the Price
Read from the listings in the table. One Hikvision model is listed NPR 4,707 apart by two shops, so the photo is not the whole story.
Fingerprint or Face
Fingerprint machines are listed at NPR 9,793 to NPR 15,500. Face recognition starts at NPR 18,000, and the face machines that also read fingerprints or palms run from NPR 19,500 to NPR 42,145.
How Many People It Holds
Capacity is the number of fingerprints, faces and punch records a machine stores. The ZKTeco X8S listing gives 500 fingerprints; both K40 Pro listings give 3,000.
Wi-Fi and Push
The listings that give their connections name a network (TCP/IP) port, but Wi-Fi is often extra: the eFace10 and MB2000 listings mark it optional. A machine that pushes needs no office computer; Pasal Nepal's K40 Pro listing names ADMS push, most do not say, so ask.
Battery Backup
All Nepal Sales & Service lists the Hikvision fingerprint machine at NPR 12,500 without a battery and NPR 14,500 with one built in. Worth it where the power goes during working hours.
The Shop
The ZKTeco K40 Pro is listed at NPR 14,000 by Quality Computer and NPR 15,500 by Pasal Nepal. Ask two shops for the same model before you buy.
VAT and the Bill
Only Quality Computer's listings say 13% VAT is included. The others do not say, and a price before VAT is 13% higher at the counter. Ask what installation, cabling and a door lock add too.
Not sure what your machine can do? Check which connection mode it uses before you set it up.
Pick the Machine by Headcount
A guide, not a rule. NepalHRM bills per active employee whichever machine you choose, so the software cost at each size is shown too, before 13% VAT.
- Up to 20 staff
One fingerprint machine
One fingerprint machine at the main door covers one office. NepalHRM Essential at 20 staff is NPR 1,200 a month.
- 20 to 50 staff
Fingerprint or face
Check the capacity covers everyone plus a year of hiring. Face recognition helps where fingers are worn, wet or dusty. Essential at 50 staff is NPR 2,800 a month.
- A queue at shift start
A second machine
When one door builds a queue, add a machine at another entrance. Each machine's users are mapped once, and both feed one attendance record per employee.
- Several branches
One machine per branch
Each branch's machine sends punches to the same NepalHRM account and shows on one fleet board, with its own status and last punch.
Set Up a New Machine in Four Steps
Which track you follow depends on whether the machine can push. Both end in the same attendance record.
- Fix it at the entrance, give it power and a network cable or Wi-Fi, and set its date, time and time zone. Every punch carries the machine's own clock.
- Create the device under its branch with its vendor and the serial number from the machine. NepalHRM generates a server address for that one device.
- On a ZKTeco machine it goes in the Cloud Server (ADMS) settings, on a Hikvision terminal in HTTP Listening. The device turns Online after its first push.
- Pair each device user ID with an employee by hand, by auto-matching on name, or in bulk. Punches recorded before the mapping are attached once it exists.
- In Edge Agents, create an agent for the branch and download it. NepalHRM shows the agent's secret key once, so copy it then.
- Any Windows, macOS or Linux computer on the same network as the machine. It runs as a background service, so keep that computer on.
- Give the agent the machine's IP address and serial number. The serial has to match the device registered in NepalHRM.
- The same as for push. The agent stores every punch before uploading it, so an internet outage delays attendance instead of losing it.

Works with ZKTeco, Hikvision and Sintech (Realand) devices. Older ZKTeco machines that cannot push connect through the NepalHRM edge agent on your office network. We do not publish a list of models, because we have not tested every one. Book a demo with the model number you are pricing, and we will tell you which connection mode it uses.
No. The machine is a one-time hardware cost, separate from the subscription. NepalHRM Essential is NPR 60 per active employee a month before 13% VAT, and attendance and biometric devices need Essential or above.
Not for a machine that pushes: a ZKTeco machine on Cloud Server (ADMS) or a Hikvision terminal on HTTP Listening sends each punch to NepalHRM itself. An older ZKTeco machine that cannot push is read by the edge agent, which runs on a Windows, macOS or Linux computer on the same network.
Every price was read from the seller's own listing on 4 November 2026, and each row links to it. Prices and stock change without notice, so treat the table as a guide and confirm with the shop.
