How to Use the Currency Converter

Enter an amount, select the source currency (From) and target currency (To), and the converter instantly displays the result using live mid-market rates. Click ⇆ to swap the currencies, or pick any of the 60+ supported currencies from the dropdown lists.

Live Exchange Rates — Updated Every Hour

Our converter fetches rates from Open Exchange Rates and caches them in your browser for one hour. The "Updated" timestamp below the result tells you exactly when the rate was last refreshed. All rates are mid-market (the midpoint between buy and sell), which is the fairest benchmark to compare against when shopping for a money transfer.

Supported Currencies

We cover 60+ world currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, CAD, JPY, CNY, CHF, AED, SGD, MXN, BRL, KRW, PKR, THB, TRY, ZAR, NGN, EGP, KWD, SAR, QAR, OMR, BHD, MYR, PHP, VND, and many more.

Why Exchange Rates Change

Currency rates fluctuate continuously during trading hours (24/5 from Sunday evening to Friday evening UTC). The main drivers are:

• Central bank interest rates — Higher rates attract foreign capital and tend to strengthen a currency.
• Inflation — Low, stable inflation supports a stronger currency over the long run.
• Economic data — GDP growth, employment figures, and trade balances all move rates.
• Market sentiment — Geopolitical events and risk appetite cause short-term swings.

Tips for Saving Money on Currency Exchange

• Use the mid-market rate (shown here) as your benchmark — any service offering this or better is a good deal.
• Avoid exchanging cash at airports or hotels; they charge 5–12% above the mid-market rate.
• Online transfer services like Wise, Revolut, or OFX typically come closest to the mid-market rate.
• For large transfers, use a specialist FX broker who can lock in a forward rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the actual rate I'll receive?

The mid-market rate shown here is a reference benchmark. Banks and exchange services add a margin (0.5–5%) on top of it. Use this converter to understand the underlying rate and spot whether you're being offered a fair deal.

How often are rates updated?

Once per hour. The exact timestamp is shown next to the conversion result. Rates are cached locally in your browser so the converter works even with a slow connection.

Does this converter store my data?

No. All calculations happen entirely in your browser. The only external call is a fetch to the exchange rate API; no amounts or currency choices are ever sent to our servers.
