Please note

Exchange rates are daily reference rates and are approximate. They change constantly and do not include the margin or fees your bank or provider will apply. Do not rely on them for trading or accounting.

  2. 2Type an amount — the conversion updates immediately.
  3. 3Use the swap button to reverse the direction.
  4. 4Check the date shown under the result to see when the rate was published.

How it works

Rates come from a public reference feed that republishes the European Central Bank's daily rates. These are the mid-market reference rates published each working day at around 16:00 CET — the same figures news outlets quote.

A reference rate is not what you will be charged. Banks, card networks and money transfer services add a margin on top, typically between 0.5% and 4%, and may charge a separate fee. Treat the number here as the honest midpoint the retail rate is measured against, not a quote.

Rates are fetched once and cached for an hour, since the source only updates daily. When the feed cannot be reached the tool says so plainly and shows no figure, rather than falling back to a stale or invented rate.

The amount you type is never sent anywhere. Only the currency codes are used to look up a rate; the arithmetic happens in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How often are the rates updated?
The source publishes once each working day, around 16:00 Central European Time. There are no updates at weekends or on European public holidays.
Why does my bank give me a different rate?
These are mid-market reference rates — the midpoint between buy and sell prices. Retail providers add a margin, usually 0.5% to 4%, plus any fixed fee.
Can I use these rates for accounting?
No. Use the official rate your tax authority or accounting standard requires, which is usually a specific published rate for a specific date.
Why is a currency missing?
The reference feed covers around thirty widely traded currencies. Pegged and thinly traded currencies are not included.
