How to Convert Currency and What the Rate Actually Means
Mid-market rates, the spread you will really pay, and when the number is stale.
About Currency Converter — Free Online Converter
Currency Converter converts between more than 160 currencies at the day's published rates, including USD, EUR, INR, GBP and JPY.
Rates are expressed against USD, so a conversion between two other currencies goes through USD as the base. The rate table is fetched once and cached for an hour rather than per keystroke, which is why the result appears instantly as you type and why two conversions a minute apart agree with each other. When the upstream feed cannot be reached at all, the route falls back to the last snapshot it stored, with no limit on how old that snapshot may be — the response marks it stale and carries the date it was published, so a figure that is days behind is labelled rather than passed off as today's rate.
The amount you type stays in the page — the arithmetic is local, and nothing you enter is transmitted. The page does download the rate table itself, which is a request for public exchange rates and carries nothing about you or your figures.
Checking what a foreign invoice comes to in your own currency, budgeting a trip, pricing something for an overseas customer, and sanity-checking the rate a bank or card has quoted you.
