Currency Converter

Type an amount, pick the two currencies and see what it is worth today. Rates are fetched live from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates.

Good to know

Exchange rates are for information only and are not financial advice or an offer to trade. Rates are daily reference rates and may differ from the rate your bank, card or transfer provider gives you. We do not guarantee accuracy or availability. Check the final rate and fees with your provider before you send or exchange money.

What it does

  • 31 major world currencies
  • Live rates, with the date shown
  • The rate both ways (1 USD = … and 1 EUR = …)
  • Currency names in your language
  • Free, no sign-up, nothing stored

How to use it

  1. Type the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the currency you have and the currency you want.
  3. Read the converted amount, the rate and the date of the rate.

Where do these rates come from?

The rates come from Frankfurter, a free service that republishes the daily reference rates of the European Central Bank (ECB). The ECB sets these rates once each working day, in the afternoon, so the number you see is a daily reference rate. It does not move second by second.

That makes it good for budgeting, travel planning, checking an invoice or comparing prices. It is not the rate a bank, card company or money-transfer service will give you. Those add a margin or a fee, so you will usually receive a little less. Weekends and public holidays show the last working day's rate.

Example

If 1 USD is 0.92 EUR, then 100 USD is 92 EUR. The tool also shows the reverse rate, so you can see that 1 EUR is about 1.087 USD.

Questions people ask

Are these live exchange rates?
They are the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, updated once on each working day. The date is shown under the result.
Is this the rate I will get at my bank?
No. Banks, cards and transfer services add a margin or a fee. Use this tool as a fair mid-market guide and compare the final amount before you send or exchange money.
Why is my currency missing?
The tool covers the 31 currencies that the ECB publishes. Currencies it does not publish, such as the UAE dirham or the Pakistani rupee, are not available here.
Do you store what I type?
No. The amount stays in your browser. The only request the page makes is to fetch the public rate table.
