Read the GuideAn exchange rate expresses the value of one currency in terms of another. When you convert currency, you multiply your amount by the exchange rate from the source currency to the target. Exchange rates fluctuate continuously based on supply and demand, interest rates, inflation, geopolitical events, and central bank policy.
Converted Amount = Amount × (Rate of Target / Rate of Base) | Exchange Rate (A→B) = Rate_B / Rate_A | (where both rates are expressed in units per 1 USD)If you're traveling from the US to Europe with $1,000 USD, and the EUR/USD rate is 0.92, you'd receive approximately €920. Banks and airport kiosks typically add a spread (fee) of 1–5%, so shop around for the best rate before exchanging currency.
When exchanging currency commercially, you'll notice a difference between the 'buy' and 'sell' rates — this is the bid-ask spread and represents the exchanger's profit. For example, a bank might buy EUR at 0.90 and sell at 0.94 per USD. Using mid-market rates (like those shown here) gives you a neutral reference point.
Conversions use hardcoded indicative rates with USD as the base currency. The exchange rate between any two non-USD currencies is derived by dividing their respective USD rates (triangulation). These rates are for illustrative purposes only.
