What is the Currency Converter?

The Currency Converter converts amounts between world currencies using live exchange rates. Enter an amount, select the currencies you want to convert between, and get an accurate result based on the current mid-market rate — the midpoint between buy and sell prices.

It supports over 150 currencies, from major pairs like USD/EUR and GBP/USD to less commonly traded currencies used for international transfers, business invoicing, or travel planning.

Understanding Exchange Rates

Exchange rates between currencies change constantly, driven by trade flows, interest rate decisions, inflation data, and market sentiment. The rate shown is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are offering at a given moment. This is the fairest reference rate and the one used by financial data providers.

In practice, banks and money transfer services apply a spread on top of the mid-market rate — the difference between the rate they buy and sell at. This spread is where their margin comes from. Knowing the mid-market rate lets you evaluate how much of a spread you're being charged.
