Currency converter
An amount from one currency into another at the hourly rate, with the whole table.
Questions
What does this tool do?
The Currency converter turns an amount in one currency into another at the latest hourly reference rate — any of some 170 currencies, including gold, silver and bitcoin — shows the rate both ways, and lists every currency against the one you chose. The arithmetic happens in your browser; only the rates come from the server.
Where do the rates come from, and how often do they change?
From Open Exchange Rates, which publishes mid-market reference rates against the US dollar every hour. Our server keeps one copy an hour; the line under the result says when it was updated, in UTC, and says so when the copy is older than usual.
Why does my bank give a different rate?
These are indicative mid-market rates — the middle between buying and selling, updated hourly. A bank or a card adds its own spread and fees on top, so the amount on your statement will be a little worse than the one here. Good for a sense of the price; not for trading.
Does it store anything?
No. The amount and the currencies you pick are not sent and not kept — the server hands over the rate table and learns nothing about what you typed. Reload the page and it starts from 1 USD to EUR again.
Which currencies are there?
Every ISO 4217 currency the provider lists — around 170 — plus gold, silver, platinum and palladium priced per ounce (XAU, XAG, XPT, XPD) and bitcoin (BTC). Type a code or a name in the table to find one.
Can I see past rates?
Not yet: this page shows the latest rate only. A history chart is on the list.
