Convert between 30+ major currencies with up-to-date rates.
Our free currency converter lets you convert between 30+ major world currencies instantly. Enter any amount, select your from and to currencies, and get the converted value immediately.

Currency conversion works by multiplying the amount by the exchange rate between the two currencies. All rates are calculated relative to the US Dollar as the base currency. To convert GBP to EUR, for example, the GBP/USD rate is divided by the EUR/USD rate to give the GBP/EUR cross rate.
The GBP/USD exchange rate fluctuates daily based on economic conditions, interest rates and market sentiment. Our converter uses indicative rates — for live rates for financial transactions, always check with your bank or a regulated broker.
Use our converter to check the approximate rate, then compare offers from your bank, a currency exchange or online providers like Wise or Revolut. Airport exchanges typically offer the worst rates — order currency in advance or use a travel card.
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is consistently the highest-valued currency against the US Dollar. The British Pound (GBP), Swiss Franc (CHF) and Euro (EUR) are among the strongest major currencies.
EUR/USD is a currency pair showing how many US Dollars one Euro buys. If EUR/USD = 1.08, one Euro buys $1.08. The first currency is the base and the second is the quote currency.
Exchange rates change constantly based on interest rate decisions, inflation data, economic growth figures, political events and market sentiment. Major central bank announcements (like the Bank of England or Federal Reserve) can cause large rate movements.
Specialist online providers like Wise, Revolut or Caxton typically offer rates closest to the mid-market rate with low fees. Banks are convenient but often add large margins. Avoid airport and hotel exchanges which have the highest fees.
