Currency Converter
Convert an amount between currencies using a manual exchange rate.
Units of target currency per 1 unit of source currency.
How Currency Conversion Works
Converting an amount from one currency to another means multiplying it by an exchange rate, which represents how many units of the target currency one unit of the source currency is worth. For example, if the exchange rate from USD to EUR is 0.92, then 100 USD converts to 92 EUR. This calculator performs that multiplication for you once you enter the amount and the rate.
Why Exchange Rates Vary
Exchange rates change constantly based on global currency markets, and they can also vary depending on where you exchange money. Banks, ATMs, currency exchange counters, and card networks often apply their own margin on top of the underlying market rate, and may charge additional fees. Because of this, it is useful to enter the specific rate offered to you, rather than a general published rate, to get an accurate sense of how much you will actually receive or pay.
FAQ
How does this currency converter work?
Enter an amount, choose your source and target currencies, and enter an exchange rate manually. The calculator multiplies the amount by the exchange rate to give you the converted amount.
Where do I find the exchange rate to enter?
You can find current exchange rates from your bank, a currency exchange service, or a financial news source. This calculator does not look up rates automatically, so use the rate that applies to your situation, such as the rate your card issuer or exchange counter offers.
Why might my actual exchange rate differ from a published mid-market rate?
Banks, card networks, and currency exchange services typically add a margin on top of the mid-market exchange rate, and may also charge separate fees. The rate you actually receive can be noticeably different from the rate you see quoted online.
Can I use this calculator for any pair of currencies?
Yes. As long as you know the exchange rate between the two currencies, you can select any source and target currency and enter that rate to get an accurate converted amount.
Does this calculator update exchange rates automatically?
No. This calculator does not connect to any external service or API. You enter the exchange rate manually, so the result is only as accurate and up to date as the rate you provide.
