Currency Converter
Convert between 50 world currencies, gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum using live mid-market rates, with the timestamp of every quote shown.
Thousands separators and a pasted currency symbol are both fine — 1,234.56 or $1,234.56.
These are mid-market rates — the midpoint between interbank buying and selling prices. A bank, card issuer or bureau adds a margin and usually a fee, so the rate you are actually given will be worse.

About the Currency Converter
Convert an amount between world currencies at current rates. Pick what you are converting from and to, type the amount, and the answer updates as you type.
The list covers the major fiat currencies — dollar, euro, pound, yen, rupee, real and forty more — alongside gold and silver quoted per troy ounce, and Bitcoin and Ethereum. Small amounts are shown to enough decimal places to actually be readable: converting a few pounds into Bitcoin gives you 0.00001474, not a rounded 0.00 that tells you nothing.
Every quote carries the timestamp it was taken at, and that is deliberate. Rates move continuously during market hours, so a converted figure without a time attached is a number pretending to be more current than it is. Fetching rates once and reusing them for the rest of your visit is what keeps this page fast — the arithmetic happens in your browser, so changing the amount or the target currency is instant and needs no further lookup.
One thing to be clear about: these are mid-market rates, the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are quoting on the interbank market. It is the rate you see reported in the news, and it is not the rate you will be given. A bank, a card issuer or a bureau adds a spread and usually a fee on top, so the amount that actually reaches the other side of a transfer will be lower. Use this to know what a fair rate looks like and to judge how much a provider is charging you above it.
How to use the Currency Converter
-
Enter the amount
Type the figure you want to convert. Thousands separators and a pasted currency symbol are both fine — 1,234.56 and $1,234.56 are read the same way.
-
Choose the currencies
Pick what you are converting from and to. The swap button reverses them, which is quicker than changing both.
-
Convert
Complete the verification check and press Convert. The rates for that base currency are fetched once and the result appears with the rate and its timestamp.
-
Adjust freely
Change the amount or the target currency and the answer updates instantly with no further lookup. Only switching the currency you are converting from fetches again.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the rate different from what my bank offers?
Because this is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between the buying and selling prices quoted between banks. Nobody sells currency to a retail customer at that price. Your bank, card issuer or exchange bureau adds a margin to it, and often a fixed fee as well, so the rate you are actually given is always worse. Comparing the two is a good way to see exactly how much a provider is charging you.
How current are the rates?
They are fetched when you press Convert and the exact timestamp of the quote is shown underneath the result. Rates are reused for the rest of your visit rather than re-fetched on every keystroke, so if you have had the page open a while and it matters to the decimal, reload and convert again for a fresh quote.
Why does changing the amount not need another lookup?
Because one lookup returns the rate for every currency in the list against the one you are converting from, not just the single pair you picked. Once the page has that table, converting a different amount or into a different currency is arithmetic your browser can do instantly. Only changing the currency you are converting *from* needs a new fetch.
How are gold and silver quoted?
Per troy ounce, under their standard currency codes XAU for gold and XAG for silver — the same convention used across finance. So converting 1,000 USD into XAU tells you how many troy ounces of gold that buys at the current spot price, before any dealer premium, fabrication cost or storage charge.
Can I use these figures for tax or accounting?
Not directly. Tax authorities generally require a specific published rate for a specific date — often their own official rate, or a central bank's daily fixing — rather than a mid-market quote from an arbitrary moment. Use this for everyday conversions and estimates, and take the official figure from whichever authority you are filing with.
Why is there a verification check before I can use this?
Because each rate fetch is a paid API call on our side, and a converter is an easy page to point a script at. Without a gate the cost of that would be ours. For an ordinary visitor the check is usually invisible, and it only appears once per visit because the rates are then reused.
