Live exchange rates for 30+ currencies.
The Currency Converter provides live exchange rates for 30+ currencies. Convert any amount instantly and see a quick reference table for common amounts. Rates are updated regularly.
Type the amount you want to convert, pick the source currency on the left and the target currency on the right. The converted value updates instantly. Swap source and target with the arrow button. The reference table below the result shows common conversions (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000) so you can mentally calibrate to a foreign currency without retyping. Rates are pulled from a live exchange-rate API and refreshed automatically; the timestamp under the result tells you how fresh they are.
The number shown here is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between what banks pay each other to buy and sell currency. It's the "real" rate. The rate your bank, card or kiosk gives you is always worse: they add a margin (called the "spread") of typically 1–4% on top of the mid-market rate, plus sometimes a fixed conversion fee. To work out the true cost of a transfer, multiply your amount by both the spread and any fixed fees. Services like Wise, Revolut and Currensea typically charge spreads under 0.5%, while airport bureaux can hit 8–10%.
Budgeting a holiday in a foreign currency, sanity-checking an invoice from an overseas client, comparing prices when shopping internationally, working out salary equivalents for relocation decisions, or just answering "how much is that in pounds?" while watching a US-priced product launch.
