Currency Converter

Convert between 30+ world currencies with approximate exchange rates

What is it and how does it work?

A currency converter changes an amount from one currency into another — dollars to euros, pounds to yen, and dozens of other pairings — by applying the exchange rate between them. Exchange rates express how much of one currency you get for one unit of another, and because that rate constantly moves with the market, the same €100 is worth a different number of dollars today than last week. A converter does the multiplication for you so you can quickly see what a price, salary or budget is worth in a currency you actually think in.

It is the tool you reach for when shopping on a foreign site, planning travel money, comparing an international salary or sanity-checking an invoice in another currency. The important thing to understand is that the rates shown are reference rates for getting a sense of value — the actual rate you receive from a bank, card or exchange will differ because of fees and margins. This tool runs the conversion in your browser for a fast, private estimate across many world currencies.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Are these live, real-time exchange rates?

The rates are approximate reference values for estimating worth, not a live trading feed. Markets move constantly, so for a transaction always check the exact rate your bank, card or exchange will apply at that moment.

Why is the rate I actually get different from this?

Banks, cards and bureaux add a margin to the mid-market rate plus possible fees, so the rate you receive is usually slightly worse than a reference rate. This converter shows the ballpark value, which is ideal for comparison but not the exact amount you will be charged.

What is the mid-market rate?

It is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of a currency pair — the "real" rate before any margin. Reference converters use something close to it, but providers rarely give you the mid-market rate; the gap is how they make money on the exchange.

Can I rely on this for an exact transaction amount?

No — treat it as an estimate. For an exact figure (paying an invoice, transferring money, budgeting precisely), confirm the live rate and fees with the provider handling the actual transaction, since those determine what you really pay or receive.
