Frequently asked questions
Where do the rates come from?
The open Exchange Rate API's daily mid-market rates - the midpoint between global buy and sell prices.
Will I get this rate at a bank?
Not exactly - banks, cards and kiosks add a spread of 1-4% plus fees. Use this to judge how fair an offered rate is.
Convert currencies at live mid-market rates
Exchange rates move constantly, so a currency converter is only as good as its data. This one pulls live mid-market rates - the true midpoint between global buy and sell prices - for over 160 currencies, refreshed daily, and converts instantly as you type. Whether you're budgeting a trip, checking an invoice in another currency or comparing prices across borders, the number reflects the real market, not a marked-up tourist rate.
Mid-market vs. the rate you'll actually get
The mid-market rate is the honest reference point, but it's not usually what you pay. Banks, card networks, airport kiosks and money-transfer services add a spread - often 1-4% - plus fixed fees, and the worst offenders bury it in a 'no fee' rate that's simply worse. Use this converter to know the fair value, then judge any offered rate against it: if a transfer service quotes a rate 3% off mid-market, that gap is the real cost.
Popular pairs and everyday uses
The heavily-used pairs - USD to EUR, GBP to USD, USD to INR, EUR to GBP - are a click away, and any of the 160+ currencies can be swapped freely. Beyond travel, it's useful for freelancers pricing international work, shoppers comparing an overseas purchase, and anyone sanity-checking a foreign bill. For fixed-rate arithmetic that doesn't need live data - splitting costs, applying a known rate - our Currency Calculator complements this, and the broader Unit Converter covers physical measurements.
