Exchange rates move constantly, and the rate you see in a news headline is rarely the rate that matters for your situation. This converter gives you the daily mid-market rate — the midpoint between global buy and sell prices — across 150+ currencies, which is the honest baseline for planning a trip budget, pricing an invoice for an overseas client, or sanity-checking what a marketplace or remittance service is offering you.
Mid-market vs. what you actually pay: banks, card networks, and money-transfer services add a margin on top of the mid-market rate — typically 1–4%, sometimes far more at airport kiosks. Knowing the mid-market figure from this tool tells you exactly how large that markup is, which is the single most useful number when comparing transfer services.
Regional coverage that big converters neglect: alongside majors like USD, EUR, GBP, and JPY, the rate feed includes East African currencies — Kenyan and Tanzanian shillings, Ugandan shillings, Rwandan francs, Ethiopian birr — plus the rand and other African currencies that mainstream tools often bury or omit.
Freshness, honestly stated: rates refresh once daily from the open exchange-rate feed. That is plenty for budgeting, invoicing, and comparison shopping — and not enough for trading, where seconds matter; use a brokerage feed for that. For the surrounding math — say, working out what a 2.5% transfer fee costs you — the percentage calculator is one click away, as is the unit converter for the rest of your travel-planning conversions.
