How It Works
This converter uses a simple cross-rate calculation to convert between currencies:
Converted Amount = Amount x (To Rate / From Rate)
All rates are expressed relative to a common base currency (USD). To convert between any two currencies, the calculator divides the target currency’s rate by the source currency’s rate to get the cross rate, then multiplies the amount by that rate.
Exchange Rate Example:
If 1 USD = 0.92 EUR and 1 USD = 0.79 GBP, then the EUR/GBP cross rate is 0.79 / 0.92 = 0.8587. So 1,000 EUR = 1,000 x 0.8587 = approximately 858.70 GBP.
Inverse Rate:
The inverse rate is simply 1 divided by the exchange rate. If 1 USD = 0.92 EUR, then 1 EUR = 1 / 0.92 = approximately 1.0870 USD. The calculator displays both the direct rate and the inverse rate for reference.
Important Limitations:
The rates in this calculator are approximate, static reference values. Real exchange rates change continuously based on market supply and demand, economic indicators, central bank policies, and geopolitical events. Banks and exchange services also apply a spread (markup) on top of the mid-market rate. For actual transactions, always check the rate offered by your bank or exchange provider.
Bid vs. Ask Rates:
In practice, currency exchange involves two prices: the bid (the price a dealer pays to buy the currency) and the ask (the price a dealer charges to sell it). The difference between these is the spread, which represents the dealer’s profit. This calculator uses a single mid-rate and does not account for spreads or transaction fees.
Worked Example
Converting 1,000 USD to EUR at a rate of 0.92: Converted Amount = 1,000 x (0.92 / 1) = 920.00 EUR. The inverse rate is 1 / 0.92 = 1.0870, meaning 1 EUR = approximately 1.0870 USD. To convert 500 GBP to USD when 1 USD = 0.79 GBP: Amount in USD = 500 x (1 / 0.79) = 500 x 1.2658 = approximately 632.91 USD.
