Exchange rates from reliable financial data providers
How it works
A currency calculator converts an amount from one currency to another by multiplying by the exchange rate — how many units of the target currency one unit of the source currency buys. Rates move constantly with the market.
Currency conversion
Target amount = source amount × exchange rate
- exchange rate
- target currency per 1 unit of source
Worked example
- Convert 100 USD to EUR
- Rate = 0.92 EUR per USD
- 100 × 0.92
100 USD = 92 EUR.
Good to know
- The reverse rate is 1 ÷ rate, but banks add a spread, so buying back costs more than the mid-market rate.
- Cards and exchanges add fees or a markup over the mid-market rate — compare the all-in cost.
- Rates fluctuate continuously; a quote is only good for that moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are the exchange rates?
The converter uses live exchange rates from ExchangeRate-API covering 163 currencies, updated hourly and cached for performance. Rates shown are mid-market rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices on the global market.
What is the mid-market rate and will I actually get it?
The mid-market rate is the "real" wholesale rate you see in the news. Banks, card networks, and exchange kiosks add a spread or markup on top — often 1-5% — so the rate you transact at is always somewhat worse than mid-market.
What makes exchange rates move?
Interest-rate differentials, inflation, economic data, political stability, trade balances, and market speculation. Major pairs can move meaningfully within a single day, which is why any quoted rate is only good for that moment.
How do I convert in the other direction?
Use the reciprocal: if 1 USD buys 0.92 EUR, then 1 EUR buys 1 ÷ 0.92 ≈ 1.087 USD. Remember that real-world buy and sell rates differ because providers apply their spread in both directions.
Should I rely on this for large transfers?
Use it for planning, but for significant amounts get an all-in quote from your bank or a transfer service — the spread, fees, and timing matter more than small rate fluctuations. Comparing two or three providers on total cost routinely saves real money on large transfers.
