How do I convert US Dollars to Euros or British Pounds?

Enter your dollar amount, choose USD in the from dropdown, and select EUR or GBP as the target. The converted value and live rate appear instantly. Use the swap button to reverse the pair.

What is the mid-market exchange rate?

The mid-market rate is the average of buy and sell prices in the wholesale currency market — without retail markup. Xe supplies mid-market data for this converter. Banks and transfer apps may quote a different rate when you actually send money.

How often are exchange rates updated?

Rates refresh on a frequent schedule (often minutely during active market hours). The widget displays the latest update date and time in UTC directly below the conversion fields.

How many currencies does this converter support?

More than 100 world currencies are available in the Xe widget, covering major reserve currencies, regional units, and many emerging-market codes. Scroll or search inside each currency dropdown to find yours.

Can I open the converter with a specific currency pair?

Yes. Add URL parameters such as ?from=USD&to=GHS&amount=250 to this page and the widget loads with those defaults pre-selected.

Is this currency converter free?

Yes — no account required. For length, weight, and volume conversions (not exchange rates), use our Conversion Calculator. For trading-account growth projections, try the Forex Compound Calculator.

Using this currency converter

This tool helps you convert cash from one currency into another for travel budgeting, online shopping, freelance invoices, or quick spot checks before a transfer. Type an amount in the top field, choose your from and to currencies from the dropdowns, and read the converted value immediately. Tap the swap control to flip currencies without retyping.

More than one hundred currencies are available — including the US Dollar, UK Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, Canadian Dollar, and Ghanaian Cedi. The widget shows the quoted exchange rate (for example, 1 USD = 11.28 GHS) plus the time of the latest update in UTC so you know how fresh the number is.

Where the exchange rates come from

Rate data is supplied by Xe.com using mid-market values — the midpoint between buy and sell prices in the wholesale FX market. Mid-market rates are widely used for fair reference conversions because they exclude retail spreads and transfer fees. The converter refreshes frequently; the exact timestamp appears beneath the fields.

Important: banks, card issuers, and money-transfer services often add margins, so the rate you receive when sending money may differ from the mid-market figure shown here. Use this tool for planning and comparison, not as a guaranteed send rate.

Currency pairs and versatility

You can pair almost any supported currency with another — useful when you earn in one country, spend in another, or price goods for international customers. Common workflows include:

Travel — estimate hotel, food, and transport costs in local money before you fly.
Shopping — compare foreign storefront prices to your home currency at checkout.
Investing & business — translate revenue, expenses, or quotes without opening a trading terminal.
Education — see how exchange rates move between major and emerging-market currencies.

Select any code from the lists inside the converter — search is built into the Xe widget dropdowns.

Tip: bookmark a pair by adding query parameters to this page, for example ?from=USD&to=EUR&amount=100, to open with your preferred defaults.

Examples and use cases

Worked example

Convert $1,000 USD to EUR at a mid-market rate of 0.92:

EUR received ≈ €920 (before bank fees or spreads)
Reverse: €500 ÷ 0.92 ≈ $543.48

Real-world use cases

Travel budgeting: A tourist estimates hotel and meal costs in Thai baht before a two-week trip, using live rates to set a daily spending cap in home currency.
Freelance invoicing: A developer bills a UK client in pounds but tracks income in dollars — converting each payment for tax and cash-flow planning.
Import cost check: A retailer compares a supplier quote in yuan to their local currency to decide whether landed cost beats domestic wholesale.
