Currency Converter Formula & How It Works

Converted Amount = Source Amount × Exchange Rate
  • Exchange rate: price of one currency in terms of another
  • Base currency: the currency you're converting FROM
  • Quote currency: the currency you're converting TO
  • Bid/Ask spread: buy price vs sell price (matters for large conversions)

Exchange rates fluctuate continuously based on supply and demand, interest rates, inflation, and economic/political events. The mid-market rate (midpoint between buy and sell prices) is used here. Banks and exchange services charge a spread (usually 1-4%) over the mid-market rate as profit. For large transfers, compare services.

Currency Converter FAQs

What is an exchange rate?

An exchange rate is the price of one currency expressed in another currency. USD/INR = 83 means 1 US Dollar costs 83 Indian Rupees. Rates float freely (most currencies) or are pegged (some currencies fixed to USD or a basket).

Where can I get the best exchange rate?

Mid-market rate is the fairest benchmark. Banks: convenient but worst rates (2-5% spread). Airport kiosks: worst (5-15%). Online transfer services (Wise, Remitly): near mid-market + small flat fee. ATMs abroad: often good rates but check your bank's foreign transaction fee.
