How is this calculated?

Formula: Converted Amount = Input Amount × (Target Rate / Source Rate)

All currencies are stored as rates relative to USD. To convert from Currency A to Currency B: first convert A to USD (divide by A's rate), then convert USD to B (multiply by B's rate).

Result = Amount × (Rate_To / Rate_From)
Example: 1000 INR to USD = 1000 × (1 / 83.5) = $11.98

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does a currency converter work?
A currency converter multiplies the amount by the exchange rate between two currencies. For example, to convert USD to EUR, you multiply by the USD/EUR rate (approximately 0.92). Rates fluctuate based on global markets, central bank policies, and economic conditions.
Are the exchange rates shown here real-time?
This calculator uses representative mid-market rates updated periodically. For exact real-time rates, check with your bank or forex provider. Actual transaction rates may include a spread or fee.
What is a mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate (also called interbank rate) is the midpoint between buy and sell prices of two currencies on the global market. It is the fairest rate available — banks and services typically add a markup on top of it.
Why does my bank give me a different rate?
Banks and exchange services add a margin (spread) to the mid-market rate to earn profit. This markup can range from 0.5% to 5% depending on the provider, currency pair, and transaction amount. Always compare multiple providers.
Which currencies can I convert?
This converter supports 30+ major world currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, INR, AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, and many more. It covers all G20 currencies and other commonly traded pairs.

How to Convert Currency Online

Converting currency online is straightforward: enter an amount, select source and target currencies, and get an instant result. But understanding how exchange rates work helps you get the best deal.

Understanding Exchange Rates

Exchange rates represent how much one currency is worth in terms of another. The mid-market rate is the fairest reference point — it's the midpoint between what buyers offer and what sellers ask. Banks and money transfer services add a markup (called a spread) on top of this rate, which is how they earn from foreign exchange transactions.

Tips for Getting the Best Rates

To minimize currency conversion costs: compare rates across multiple providers before transferring, avoid airport exchange counters (highest markups), use fee-free international debit cards for travel, and consider timing — rates fluctuate throughout the day based on market activity. Large transfers benefit from specialist forex brokers who offer tighter spreads than traditional banks.
