How this converter works
Pick an amount and a currency to convert from, then a currency to convert to — the result updates instantly as you type. Rates are pulled from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates and cached for about an hour, so the figure you see is always recent without hammering the underlying feed on every page load.
These are indicative mid-market rates, meant for quick estimates — budgeting a trip, sanity-checking an invoice, following exchange-rate news. They aren't the rate you'll get from a bank or money transfer service, which typically add a margin on top.
For Australians, this is most useful for budgeting an overseas trip, checking what an overseas online purchase actually costs once converted, comparing a job offer or invoice quoted in a foreign currency, or sanity-checking the rate a bank or transfer service is offering before you commit. Worked example: converting AUD 1,000 at an indicative rate of 0.64 gives USD 640 — if your bank quotes noticeably less than that for the same amount, the difference is their margin, and it's worth comparing a couple of providers before transferring a larger sum.

Frequently asked questions
- How often are the exchange rates updated?
- Rates refresh roughly every hour from the European Central Bank's reference rates (via the Frankfurter feed). The exact time they were last pulled is shown under the converter.
- Are these rates the same as what my bank will give me?
- No — these are indicative mid-market reference rates. Banks and money transfer services add their own margin and fees on top, so the amount you actually receive will usually be a bit less favourable than the rate shown here.
- Which currencies are supported?
- 30 major world currencies, based on the European Central Bank's published reference rates — covering most G20 and widely-traded currencies. A handful of currencies the ECB doesn't publish reference rates for aren't included.
- Why is the ECB the source, when I'm converting other currencies like USD to JPY?
- The ECB publishes daily reference rates for each currency against the euro; converting between two non-euro currencies (say USD to JPY) is done via the euro as an intermediate step — USD to EUR, then EUR to JPY — which is mathematically equivalent to a direct rate and is how most published cross-rates are actually derived.
- Why does the rate I see here differ slightly from Google or XE?
- Different providers pull from different rate sources and refresh on different schedules, so small differences (typically well under 1%) between two legitimate mid-market rate feeds are normal, not a sign either one is wrong. For anything beyond a quick estimate, check the rate your bank or transfer provider will actually apply.
