Currency Converter
Convert between currencies at live rates, and see the rate you used.
Fast conversion for quoting and reporting. Every result shows the exchange rate behind it and when that rate was last updated, so a figure can be checked rather than taken on trust. Compare one amount across several currencies at once, or pin a rate you have actually been given for a deal — clearly marked as yours, never dressed up as the market.

About Currency Converter
What it does, how to use it, and where it stops.
A currency converter answers one question: what is this amount worth in another currency, right now. That sounds simple until you notice that "right now" and "worth" both hide a lot of detail — which is what the rest of this page is about.
How exchange rates actually work
The rate you see quoted is the mid-market rate: the midpoint between what buyers are offering and what sellers are asking on the global market. It is the honest reference number, and it is almost never the rate you personally get.
Rates move continuously while markets are open. For major currencies the movement across a day is usually small; around news, policy decisions or for thinly traded currencies it can be substantial.
Converting an amount
Enter the amount, choose the currency you are converting from and the one you want, and read the result. You can compare a single amount across several currencies at once, which is the quick way to see which market a price is actually cheapest in.
The rate used is shown alongside the result. That matters: a converted figure with no visible rate cannot be checked, and an unverifiable number is not much use in a business decision.
What you will actually receive
Your bank or payment provider will not give you the mid-market rate. They apply a margin — often between 0.5% and 4% — and may add a fixed fee on top. On a large transfer the margin usually costs more than the fee, even though the fee is the number advertised.
So treat any figure here as a reference for planning and comparison, not as the amount that will land in your account. To know that, ask your provider for their rate including all charges.
Where people use it
Travel planning
Convert your budget before you go so prices abroad mean something immediately, rather than doing mental arithmetic at a counter.
Import and export
Price a shipment in both currencies and see how much a small rate movement changes your margin. If a 2% move erases your profit, the price is too thin.
Freelancers paid abroad
Convert an offered rate into your own currency before agreeing it, and remember the provider margin will take a slice of it.
Comparing international prices
The same product across several regional stores is only comparable once converted — including shipping and any import duty.
Tips
- • For anything large, ask your provider for the all-in rate rather than the headline one. The margin is usually the real cost.
- • If a payment is weeks away, price the deal so a modest rate movement does not remove your margin.
- • Compare the total received, not the advertised fee. A "zero fee" transfer with a wide margin is often the more expensive option.
What it will not do
- • Rates shown are indicative reference rates. They are not a quote, and no transaction is made here.
- • The converter does not include bank margins, transfer fees or card charges, all of which change what you actually receive.
How it works
The things worth knowing before you sign up.
How do I convert one currency to another?
Enter the amount, choose the two currencies, and the conversion happens at the current rate. Swap the direction, copy the result, or reset in a single tap.
Which currencies are supported?
Live rates for USD, EUR, GBP, SAR, AED, PKR, INR and many more — the currencies people actually invoice and travel in.
Are the exchange rates live?
They are fetched live, and the tool always shows which rate it used and when that rate was last updated. If rates cannot be reached, it says so plainly instead of quietly showing a stale number.
Can I use the rate my bank actually gave me?
Yes. Pin your own deal rate and the conversion uses that instead, clearly marked as yours rather than a market rate — useful when you are reconciling against what a bank or supplier actually charged.
Can I compare one amount across several currencies?
Yes. One amount can be shown against a set of currencies at once, which is the quicker way to answer "what is this worth everywhere I trade".
What is an exchange rate?
The price of one currency in another. The rate quoted here is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between buying and selling on the global market.
How often do rates change?
Continuously while markets are open. Major currencies usually move a little across a day; around news or for thinly traded currencies the movement can be much larger.
Is the converted amount what I will actually receive?
No. Banks and payment providers apply a margin — often 0.5% to 4% — and may add a fee. Treat the figure here as a reference for planning, and ask your provider for their all-in rate before transferring.
Why do providers quote different rates?
Because each adds its own margin to the mid-market rate. The advertised fee is often the smaller cost; the margin is usually the larger one.
