Free Currency Converter - Exchange Rate Calculator

Convert between 20 world currencies with approximate exchange rates. Swap currencies, view rates and save conversion history.

What Is Currency Converter?

A currency converter translates amounts between different world currencies using exchange rates. Exchange rates fluctuate constantly based on economic conditions, central bank policies, market sentiment and geopolitical events. Even small changes in exchange rates can significantly affect the cost of international purchases, travel budgets and cross-border business transactions.

This tool uses indicative, approximate exchange rates rather than a live market feed — it's built for quick estimates, not for pricing an actual transaction. Always check the current rate with your bank or payment provider before making actual financial transactions, as the rate you receive will include the provider's margin.

Free users convert between 10 major currencies. Premium unlocks all 20 supported currencies, a saveable conversion history, and a Quick Reference table showing your selected currency converted to several others at once.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Select the source currency (e.g. GBP, USD, EUR).
  3. Select the target currency.
  4. View the converted amount and the exchange rate used.
  5. Swap the currencies to see the reverse conversion.
  6. Premium: save conversions to a running history, and check the Quick Reference table for several currencies at once.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Bank and payment provider exchange rates include a margin on top of the market rate — compare providers before transferring money.
  • Airport currency exchange desks typically offer the worst rates — exchange money at your bank or use a travel card instead.
  • Exchange rates shown here are indicative — the actual rate for your transaction may differ.
  • For large international transfers, specialised services like Wise often offer better rates than traditional banks.

Common Use Cases

  • Planning travel budgets by converting costs from the destination currency.
  • Comparing prices of products sold in different currencies.
