Live currency conversion, updated daily
This converter uses real exchange rates pulled from the market and refreshed every day, so the numbers track the actual mid-market rate rather than a stale fixed table. Enter an amount, pick the two currencies, and the result updates instantly. The date the rates were last refreshed is shown right under the result.
How the conversion works
Every rate is quoted against a common base, so converting from one currency to another is a single step: the amount is multiplied by the destination rate and divided by the source rate. That is why any of the 160-plus supported currencies can be paired with any other, not just conversions to or from one anchor currency.
Mid-market rates versus what you pay
The figures here are mid-market reference rates — the midpoint between the buy and sell prices that banks quote each other. A bank, card, or exchange bureau will add a margin or fee on top, so the amount you actually receive is usually a little lower. Treat this tool as an accurate reference, not a quote for a specific transaction.
How fresh are the rates?
Reference rates like these update once per day on the free data feed, which is plenty for travel budgeting, invoicing, shopping, and everyday conversions. They are not tick-by-tick trading rates; live intraday pricing with spreads is a different, paid-for product used by traders.
FAQ
Why does my bank give me a different number?
Banks and exchanges add a markup to the mid-market rate plus possible fixed fees. The gap is the margin they keep, which is why the mid-market figure shown here is slightly better than a real quote.
Can I convert between two non-US currencies?
Yes. Although the underlying feed is anchored to one base currency, the tool cross-converts automatically, so pairs like euro to yen or pound to rupee work directly.
What if the rates fail to load?
The converter saves the last set of rates it fetched, so it keeps working with those and notes the date. Tap refresh to try fetching the newest rates again.
