Currency Calculator
Convert US dollars into another currency using the exchange rate you enter.
How this calculator works
Enter the amount in US dollars and the exchange rate, meaning how many units of the other currency one US dollar buys. The calculator multiplies the two. Rates change throughout the day, and the rate you actually get from a bank, card or exchange counter is usually a little worse than the mid-market rate you see online.
Example
You want to convert 500 US dollars at a rate of 0.92 units of the other currency per dollar. The calculator shows: 460.00.
Tips
- Look up the current rate from a trusted source right before you use the calculator, and enter it yourself.
- Compare the fees. Airport exchange counters and some cards charge more than ATMs or no-foreign-fee cards.
- If a shop offers to charge you in US dollars instead of local currency, the local currency is usually the better choice.
Common questions
Why is the rate I get different from the online rate?
Banks and exchange services add a margin or fee to the mid-market rate, so your effective rate is usually slightly lower.
Which way does the rate go?
Enter how many units of the other currency equal one US dollar. If the rate is shown the other way, divide 1 by that number first.
