How it works
Type an amount, then tap From or To and search for a country, a currency name or a three-letter code. Typing "Bhutan" finds the ngultrum, "peso" lists every peso, and "TOP" finds the Tongan paʻanga. The swap button flips the two currencies, and the popular buttons jump straight to the most common dollar conversions.
Where the rates come from: the main currencies use a live market feed that the page checks again every 60 seconds, so the "updated" time below the result counts up from the last refresh. Every rate is also checked against a second published reference; if the live price for a thinly traded currency is out of line, the reference rate is used instead. Rare currencies with no live market, such as the Falkland Islands pound, use the daily reference rate. If one feed is down, the page switches to the next one automatically.
Every country: the list covers all 160 currencies in use today, from the euro and the dollar to the CFA francs shared by 14 African countries, the Eastern Caribbean dollar, the CFP franc of French Polynesia and the local pounds of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. Countries that use another country's money, such as Ecuador, Panama, Montenegro or Liechtenstein, are listed under that currency, so searching for them still works.
The math: every rate is stored as "1 US dollar = X units". To convert between two other currencies, the calculator goes through the dollar: amount ÷ (USD rate of the first currency) × (USD rate of the second currency).
Mid-market rate vs. what you'll pay: these are mid-market rates, halfway between the buy and sell price. Banks, airport exchange counters and card companies usually add 1% to 5% on top, so the amount you actually receive will be a little lower.
Worked example
You're travelling to Europe with $100. At 1 USD = 0.8947 EUR (the rate on Oct 26, 2026), $100 × 0.8947 = €89.47. Going the other way, 1 euro is worth 1 ÷ 0.8947 = $1.1177. If your bank charges a 3% conversion fee, you'd receive about €86.78.
A rarer one: sending $250 to family in Tonga. At 1 USD = 2.4078 TOP, that's 250 × 2.4078 = T$601.94 (Tongan paʻanga).
Frequently asked questions
How often are the exchange rates updated?
Every 60 seconds while the page is open. The line under the result shows how many seconds ago the rates were last refreshed and the exact time. Major currencies move with the live market; rare currencies with no live market use a reference rate that is published at least once a day.
Which countries and currencies are included?
All 160 currencies used in the world today, so every country is covered, including rare ones such as the Bhutanese ngultrum, Tongan paʻanga, Falkland Islands pound, Saint Helena pound, Eritrean nakfa, Cape Verdean escudo and the CFA franc. Search by country name, currency name or code.
Is this the rate I'll get at my bank?
Probably not exactly. This converter shows the mid-market rate. Banks, exchange counters and credit cards add a markup, often 1% to 5%, so check their rate before you exchange a large amount.
How do I convert dollars to euros?
Multiply the dollar amount by the USD-to-EUR rate. For example, at 1 USD = 0.90 EUR, $250 is €225. To go from euros to dollars, divide by the same rate or press the swap button.
Can I convert between two currencies that aren't the US dollar?
Yes. Pick any two currencies in the From and To boxes, for example euros to British pounds or Indian rupees to Philippine pesos. The calculator works it out through the dollar rate of each.
Why do some countries share a currency?
Many countries use a shared or foreign currency. The euro is used in 20+ European countries, the West and Central African CFA francs in 14 African countries, the Eastern Caribbean dollar in 8 Caribbean islands, and countries like Ecuador, El Salvador and Panama use the US dollar. Search for the country and the converter shows the currency it uses.
