Currency exchange rates explained

This guide explains how to use the calculator, includes an example, discusses limitations and answers common questions.

A currency converter translates an amount using an exchange rate. The rate you enter determines the result; this tool does not necessarily fetch live market prices.

How to use this calculator

Choose or enter the source and target currencies, then supply the exchange rate in the direction shown by the tool. Multiply the amount by that rate.

Worked example

If 1 GBP = 1.20 USD, then £100 converts to $120 before any provider fees or exchange-rate spread.

When this calculator is useful

Useful for travel budgeting, overseas invoices and comparing prices across currencies.

When not to rely on it

Market rates change continuously. Banks, cards and money-transfer providers may use different rates and charge fees.

Practical tip

Check the rate direction carefully: GBP-to-USD and USD-to-GBP rates are reciprocals, not identical.

Frequently asked questions

Are these live exchange rates?

Do not assume so. The tool uses the rate entered or displayed; verify its source and date.

Why did my bank charge a different amount?

Providers can add fees or use a different exchange rate.

Can I use yesterday’s rate?

For rough budgeting, yes; for a transaction, check the applicable current provider rate.
