What Is Currency Converter?

A currency converter translates monetary values between different world currencies using exchange rates. This tool supports 30+ major currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, INR, CAD, AUD, and many more. It uses approximate static exchange rates suitable for estimation, budgeting, and educational purposes. The converter shows both the direct rate (how many target currency units per source unit) and the inverse rate (how many source units per target unit). A swap button lets you quickly reverse the conversion direction. While these rates are approximate and updated periodically, they provide a useful reference for travel planning, international pricing, financial education, and quick mental conversions.

Technical Guide

Currency conversion uses cross-rates through a base currency (USD). To convert from currency A to currency B: Result = Amount × (Rate_B / Rate_A), where rates are expressed as units per USD. The inverse rate is simply 1/directRate. Static rates are approximate averages and should not be used for actual financial transactions, which require real-time market rates. Exchange rates fluctuate continuously based on economic conditions, interest rates, trade balances, and market sentiment. The rates in this tool represent approximate mid-market rates and don't include the spread that banks and exchange services charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Are these exchange rates accurate?
These are approximate reference rates. For actual transactions, use real-time rates from your bank or a forex service. Rates fluctuate continuously.
Q Why are exchange rates different at the bank?
Banks add a spread (markup) on the mid-market rate. The rate you get is typically 1-5% worse than the mid-market rate shown here.
Q What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices on the global forex market. It's the "real" exchange rate before any markups.
Q How often do exchange rates change?
Major currency pair rates fluctuate every second during trading hours. Rates here are static approximations updated periodically.
Q What affects exchange rates?
Interest rates, inflation, trade balances, political stability, economic growth, and market speculation all influence exchange rates.
