The method
How it is worked out
Converted = Amount × Rate
- Rate
- How much of the second currency one unit of the first buys
Currency Converter
Convert an amount using an exchange rate you enter, with a clear reminder that bank and card rates can differ. The result updates as you type so you can compare scenarios quickly.
Keep in mind
What it leaves out
- Not a live rateThis uses the rate you enter. No live exchange-rate feed is used; enter the rate you want to model.
- Spreads and feesBanks and exchanges add a margin, so you'll get less than this.
- Rates moveExchange rates change through the day.
Use the calculator to compare scenarios rather than as a guaranteed forecast.
About the Currency Converter
Convert an amount between two currencies using a rate that you enter yourself. This is useful for checking a travel budget, a supplier quote or an overseas payment when you already have an exchange rate from a bank, card provider or invoice.
How it works and an example to tryShow less
How to use the result
Enter the amount, source and destination currency codes and how much one unit of the source currency buys in the destination currency. The converted figure is the amount multiplied by that rate; the inverse rate is also shown. No live FX feed is consulted, and provider spreads, commissions and transaction fees must be checked separately.
Example to try
If your provider quotes a GBP-to-EUR rate, enter 800 and that exact rate to estimate euros received. Compare it with the provider's final quote. If the totals differ, inspect the exchange spread and any transfer fee rather than assuming this calculator supplies a live market rate.

Who uses it, and when
Travellers setting a holiday budget, freelancers invoicing overseas clients, small importers pricing stock, and anyone sending money to family abroad who wants to check a provider's quote.
Mistakes worth avoiding
- Using a mid-market rate from a news site and expecting a bank or card to match it.
- Forgetting the transfer fee, which can matter more than the rate on small amounts.
- Assuming today's rate will hold until the payment settles.
