Global Currency Converter
Turn an amount in one currency into another and see the exchange rate behind it. The converter covers 30 currencies, from the US dollar and the euro to the yen, the rupee and the Mexican peso, and answers as you type.
How to convert an amount
Type the amount you hold. Commas are fine, so 1,250.50 works.
Pick the currency you have under "From" and the one you want under "To".
Read the result and the rate underneath it, in both directions. "Swap currencies" flips the pair.
What the reference rate is
The rates come from the European Central Bank, which publishes a euro reference rate for each of its listed currencies once on every working day. Every other pair is worked out through the euro: 89.87 euros is the same as 100 US dollars, and 100 US dollars in yen is the euro result times the yen rate. The reference rate is a wholesale benchmark. It is the number to measure a bank's or an exchange desk's offer against, not a price you can be sure to trade at.
When a quick conversion pays off
Travellers use it to turn a hotel or restaurant price into a home-currency figure before paying. Shoppers compare a foreign store's price with a local one. People who send money abroad check how far an offered rate sits from the reference rate, because a small gap on a large transfer adds up quickly. Anyone holding foreign shares or funds can see what a move in the exchange rate does to the value in their own currency: a 10% gain in the asset and a 10% fall in the currency leave them roughly where they started.

Questions
- Is this the rate my bank gives me?
- Usually not. Banks, card networks and airport exchange desks add a margin to the wholesale rate, often a few percent, and some add a flat fee. The converter shows the reference rate, so it is the baseline to compare an offer against.
- How often do the rates change?
- The European Central Bank publishes its reference rates once on each working day, in the afternoon, Central European Time. The rates here are those of November 11, 2026, and the date is shown above the table.
- Which currencies are included?
- 30 currencies: the euro plus the 29 that the European Central Bank publishes a daily reference rate for, from the US dollar and the pound to the Japanese yen, the Indian rupee and the South African rand.
- Why does a round trip not return my exact amount?
- Each result is rounded to two decimals for display, and a conversion goes through the euro rate of both currencies. Converting there and back therefore lands within a rounding step of the starting amount.
