How Live Currency Exchange Rates Are Applied
This converter applies live mid-market exchange rates fetched from a real-time financial data source. The converted amount is calculated as: Converted Amount = Input Amount × Exchange Rate. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell rates and is considered the fairest benchmark. Note that banks and money transfer services apply a spread and fees on top of the mid-market rate. Inputs: amount, source currency, and target currency. Output: converted amount at the live rate.

Why do bank rates differ from the mid-market rate shown?
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell rates on currency markets and represents the fairest benchmark. Banks, bureaux de change, and money transfer services add a margin (spread) and sometimes a fee on top of this rate. Our tool shows the mid-market rate — the best rate you could theoretically achieve.
