How to Convert Currency
Converting currency means multiplying an amount by the exchange rate between the two currencies. The converter below uses live daily rates, and here's how it works.
Convert currency
The method
- Find the exchange rate from your currency to the target currency.
- Multiply your amount by that rate.
- To go the other way, divide instead of multiply.
Worked example
If 1 USD = 0.90 EUR, then 100 USD = 100 × 0.90 = 90 EUR.
Banks and apps add a margin to the mid-market rate, so the amount you actually receive is usually a little less than the pure conversion.
