Currency Converter

This calculator fetches a live table of exchange rates, each expressed as units of a currency per one US dollar. To convert between any two currencies, it first converts your amount into US dollars, then converts that dollar amount into your target currency. This two-step approach means the calculator only needs one rate table (everything relative to USD) rather than a separate rate for every possible currency pair.

The rates themselves are official European Central Bank reference rates, published once each business day. They represent the "mid-market" rate — roughly the midpoint between what banks buy and sell a currency for — rather than a rate any single bank or exchange service will actually give you. It's the standard benchmark used across finance for comparing how much a provider's rate is marked up.

Because ECB rates update daily rather than by the second, this calculator is built for planning and estimates, not for timing a trade or a transfer to the minute.

Travel budgeting: converting a hotel or meal price into your home currency before you book, or figuring out how far your spending money will go once you land.

Online shopping: checking what a price listed in a foreign currency actually costs before your card issuer adds its own conversion fee.

Freelance and remote work: converting an invoice or quote into your local currency to compare it against your usual rates.

General unit and number conversions: if you need a non-currency conversion — length, weight, temperature, and more — our Unit Converter covers those instead.

To convert an amount to US dollars, multiply it by the exchange rate. If a currency is worth 1.10 dollars per unit (an example rate, not today's), then 1 converts to $1.10, 1.50 to $1.65, 100 to $110, 1,000 to $1,100 and 1,500 to $1,650. Type any of those amounts into the converter above to see the live figure.

A trailing "k" means thousand, so 2.8k is 2,800 of the currency. Enter 2800 in the converter to see what it is worth.

Transfer services such as Remitly and Wise quote their own rates and fees, and these can differ from the mid-market rate shown here. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between buy and sell prices, which makes it a good yardstick: compare it to the rate a service offers, and the gap is part of what you are paying.
