How many lone pairs are present in NH4+

find one lone pair and three unpaired electrons.
When forming NH3 the hydrogen atoms pair their valence electrons with the three unpaired nitrogen electrons. So, NH3 has one lone pair.
Now, bring in a H+ atom (it has lost its electron [very irresponsible, by the way]) and it will bond with the lone pair left over on the NH3. Voila! No more lone pairs.
