How It Works

Currency conversion is essential for international travel, online shopping, business transactions, and investment planning. Our converter lets you manually input exchange rates for accurate conversions.

Exchange rates fluctuate constantly based on market conditions, economic factors, and geopolitical events. For the most accurate conversions, use current live exchange rates from your bank or financial data provider.

Banks and currency exchange services typically add a margin to the mid-market rate. Always check the rate being offered, as it may differ from the published market rate by 1-3%.

The Formula

Converted Amount = Amount × (Target Rate / Base Rate)

Amount = the money you want to convert. Base Rate = exchange rate of your currency (1 unit). Target Rate = exchange rate of the target currency. The ratio determines the conversion.

Example

Scenario: You want to convert $100 USD to EUR. The USD rate is 1.0 and the EUR rate is 0.85.

Result: $100 USD = €85 EUR. The exchange rate used is 0.85 EUR per 1 USD.

Context: If traveling to Europe, check if your bank charges a foreign transaction fee (typically 1-3%) on top of the exchange rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do exchange rates work?
An exchange rate tells you how much one currency is worth in another. If EUR/USD is 1.10, it means 1 EUR = 1.10 USD. Rates fluctuate based on supply, demand, and economic factors.
Where can I find current exchange rates?
Check Google, XE.com, OANDA, your bank's website, or financial news sources for current mid-market rates. Remember that actual rates offered by banks include a markup.
What is a mid-market exchange rate?
The mid-market rate (or interbank rate) is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of currencies in the global market. It's the fairest rate, but banks add a margin when servicing customers.
How do bank fees affect currency conversion?
Banks typically charge 1-3% above the mid-market rate and may add flat transaction fees. For large conversions, even small differences in rates can significantly impact the amount received.
What is the best time to exchange currency?
Exchange rates fluctuate 24/7. There's no guaranteed best time, but monitoring rates over time can help you identify favorable conditions. Avoid exchanging at airports where rates are typically worst.
