Automatic Calculation
Rent, electricity, water, and sanitation charges are calculated automatically on a fixed monthly date - no formulas to maintain.
eJyalo vs Excel Spreadsheet Rent Tracking
See why landlords across Nepal are replacing manual spreadsheets with automated rent and utility billing.
Request a Free DemoMany landlords in Nepal still track rent in an Excel spreadsheet: one row per tenant, hand-typed formulas for electricity units, and a reminder in their head to follow up on late payments. It works until it doesn't - a mistyped meter reading, a formula that silently breaks, or a tenant who disputes a figure with nothing but a cell value to point to. Every month the same calculations have to be repeated by hand, and the spreadsheet usually lives on one computer that only one person can update.
eJyalo takes a different approach. It is a rent and utility bill management application built for the Nepali market, designed for landlords, tenants, and property managers. Instead of maintaining formulas, you set up your building once - rent price per unit and electricity price per unit - and eJyalo automatically calculates rent and utility bills on a fixed date every month. Receipts are created automatically and sent to each tenant, and tenants can pay digitally via Khalti or in cash, with every payment recorded against its receipt.
The difference goes beyond calculation. A spreadsheet cannot notify a tenant that a bill is due, carry an overpayment forward into next month's balance, or show a tenant their own billing history. eJyalo does all of this: SMS notifications for dues, a built-in wallet that carries overpayments and underpayments forward automatically, and a tenant-side app where billing records stay transparent for both parties.
Because eJyalo works in Nepali Rupees (NPR) and is available on iOS, Android, and the web, you can manage multiple buildings and units from anywhere - not from a single file on a single machine. There is a free starter plan, so you can move one building off your spreadsheet and compare the two approaches yourself before paying anything - and 24/7 customer support is there if you get stuck along the way.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Excel requires you to re-enter meter readings, maintain formulas, and follow up on payments manually every month. eJyalo automates that cycle: bills are calculated on a fixed date, receipts are created and sent to tenants automatically, and SMS reminders go out for dues - all in Nepali Rupees, accessible from iOS, Android, or web.
Yes. Setup mirrors what your spreadsheet already contains: create your building, set the electricity price per unit and rent per unit, add your units, and invite tenants by phone number. From there, eJyalo generates monthly bills automatically, and pre-existing payments can also be added.
eJyalo has a free starter plan that covers one building with up to five units and ten tenants, so small landlords can switch at no cost. Paid plans start at NPR 350 per month plus VAT and add SMS and email notifications plus higher unit limits, with a 20% discount on yearly billing.
Unlike a spreadsheet where you adjust cells by hand, eJyalo has a wallet system. If a tenant pays more than the receipt amount, the extra is stored in their wallet and applied to next month's bill. If they underpay, the remaining due is carried forward to the next receipt automatically.
Yes. Tenants install the eJyalo app and can view their bills, payment history, and dues at any time, and they receive SMS notifications when bills are issued. A spreadsheet offers no tenant-facing view, which is a common source of rent disputes.
