Instant Global Exchange Rates
Whether you're planning an international trip from the US, buying goods from overseas, or sending money to family abroad, knowing roughly what your dollars are worth in another currency helps you avoid surprises and hidden fees. This tool converts between USD and 160+ other currencies using regularly updated, mid-market exchange rate data. It's for informational purposes only — not financial advice — and the rate you're actually offered by a bank or exchange service will typically include a markup.
How the Conversion Works
Every currency's exchange rate is tracked relative to a base currency (USD, in this tool's case). To convert from one currency to another, the calculator divides your amount by the "from" currency's rate, then multiplies by the "to" currency's rate — this correctly handles the conversion regardless of which two currencies you pick, not just pairs involving USD directly.
A Worked Example
Say you're converting $100 USD to EUR, and at the moment you check, the rate is roughly 1 USD = 0.92 EUR (rates change daily, so use the live figure shown in the calculator above, not this example number):
100 × 0.92 = 92 EUR
To convert the other direction — EUR back to USD — you'd divide instead: 92 ÷ 0.92 = 100 USD. The calculator's swap button does this instantly without you needing to do the math.
Lightning Fast & Reliable
Unlike converter sites that reload or re-fetch on every keystroke, this tool caches rates directly on your device for up to an hour. That means you can swap currencies and adjust amounts instantly without waiting on the network each time.
Frequently Asked Questions
This converter pulls data from ExchangeRate-API's open access endpoint, which blends reference rates from a number of central banks and commercial sources into a single indicative rate for over 160 currencies.
The underlying data source refreshes once every 24 hours on this free tier. Your browser also caches the rates locally for up to 1 hour to keep the tool fast, so you're always looking at data that's at most a day old, not a real-time trading feed.
No. These are indicative mid-market rates meant for informational purposes — estimating a trip budget, checking a rough price, and similar uses. If you actually convert money through a US bank, credit card, or exchange kiosk, expect a markup or fee on top of this rate, and the real rate you receive may differ. This isn't financial advice.
The tool caches the latest exchange rates on your device for up to 1 hour, so you can keep converting without a live connection for a while — useful if you lose signal while traveling. You'll need a connection again once that cache expires.
Banks, card networks, and currency exchange kiosks each set their own retail rate, which is typically the mid-market rate shown here plus a markup or fee. That's normal and is how those businesses make money on currency exchange — use this tool to get a sense of the fair market rate, then compare it against what you're actually being offered.
They're inverses of each other. If 1 USD = 0.92 EUR, then 1 EUR is roughly 1 ÷ 0.92 = 1.09 USD. Use the swap button above to flip the conversion direction instantly instead of doing the division yourself.
No — this tool covers fiat (government-issued) currencies only, such as USD, EUR, GBP, and JPY. It does not include cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
