Example
Example: a $2,500 trip budget in euros and a £120 hotel night, at one day’s rates
Rates change every working day, so this uses an example day on which the European Central Bank published 1 € = 1.1600 US$, 0.8700 £, 1.6200 C$ and 1.7800 A$. The page opens on US dollar → euro, so you only type the amount.
- Type “2,500” (or 2500): $2,500.00 = €2,155.17, with “1 USD = 0.862069 EUR · 1 EUR = 1.16 USD”. The ECB quotes everything against the euro, so the dollar rate is 1 ÷ 1.16.
- Below, the same $2,500.00 appears in eight more currencies: £1,875.00, ¥377,155, CA$3,491.38, A$3,836.21 and others. Click one to make it the target.
- For London, pick From GBP and To EUR: a £120.00 hotel night is €137.93. Swap the pair and €850.00 of spending money is £739.50.
- On this English page a dot is the decimal point: “45.50” is forty-five fifty, and “1.000” reads as 1 — type thousands with a comma or with nothing.

These are reference rates. A card or an exchange desk applies its own rate plus a margin, so the real amount is usually a little worse. The date of the rates is printed under the result.
How it works
- Type the amount and choose the currency you have and the one you want.
- Read the result and the rate — 1 unit of one in the other — with the date of the rates.
- Swap the two with one click; the table shows the same amount in other common currencies.
Frequently asked questions
- Where do the rates come from?
- From the European Central Bank’s euro reference rates, published every working day at about 16:00 Central European Time for around 30 currencies. Pairs without the euro, like dollar to yen, are worked out through the euro.
- Are these the rates my bank will use?
- No — they are mid-market reference rates, for information. Banks, cards and exchange offices add a margin or a fee, so what you pay or receive will differ.
- Why haven’t the rates changed today?
- The reference rates are set once each working day; at weekends and on holidays the last ones stay in use. The date is shown under the result.
- Which currencies are there?
- About 30: the US dollar, euro, pound, Swiss franc, yen, yuan, won, Turkish lira, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Canadian and Australian dollar and more.
- How do I type cents and thousands?
- A dot is the decimal point on this page: 12.50 is twelve fifty. Group thousands with a comma (2,500) or not at all (2500). A comma followed by one or two digits, as in 12,50, is read as cents too; 1.000 reads as one.
- Can I convert between two currencies without the euro, like pounds to dollars?
- Yes. Every pair is worked out through the euro, which is what the ECB quotes: on the example day 1 USD = 0.75 GBP, because 0.87 ÷ 1.16 = 0.75.
- Is anything saved?
- No. The page fetches the day’s rates from our server; what you type stays in your browser.
