What is Currency Conversion?
Currency conversion is the process of exchanging one country's currency for another at a specific exchange rate. Exchange rates fluctuate based on economic factors, market demand, and global events. Our currency converter uses the mid-market rate — the midpoint between buy and sell prices — which is considered the fairest exchange rate.
Key Concepts:
- Exchange Rate: The price of one currency expressed in terms of another (e.g., 1 USD = 83.45 INR)
- Mid-Market Rate: The real exchange rate found on Reuters and other financial data providers
- Floating Rate: Rates that change based on market forces (most major currencies)
- Fixed/Pegged Rate: Rates set by central banks (e.g., AED is pegged to USD)
Example Conversion:
Convert 100 USD to INR with an exchange rate of 83.45:
Amount in INR = Amount in USD × Exchange Rate
Amount in INR = 100 × 83.45 = 8,345 INR
You Have
$100 USD
Exchange Rate
83.45
You Get
₹8,345 INR

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How accurate are these exchange rates?
Our rates are sourced from reliable financial data providers and represent mid-market rates — the fairest exchange rate available. Rates are updated daily. Note that banks and money transfer services may offer slightly different rates due to their markup.
2. What is the mid-market rate?
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices of a currency pair. It's considered the "real" exchange rate and is used by banks for large transactions. Our converter uses this rate for accurate comparisons.
3. Why is the rate I get at banks different?
Banks and currency exchange services add a markup to the mid-market rate — this is how they make profit. The difference can range from 1% to 5% or more. Always compare rates before exchanging money.
4. How often do exchange rates change?
Forex markets operate 24/5, so rates change constantly during trading hours. For most practical purposes, daily rates are sufficient. Our converter updates rates once per day.
5. Which currency is the strongest in the world?
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the world's highest-valued currency, followed by the Bahraini Dinar (BHD) and Omani Rial (OMR). This doesn't necessarily mean their economies are the strongest — it reflects their exchange rate policy.
6. What does it mean when a currency is "pegged"?
A pegged (or fixed) currency has its value tied to another currency at a fixed rate. For example, the UAE Dirham is pegged to USD at approximately 3.67 AED per dollar. This provides stability for trade and investment.
7. Can I use this converter for business transactions?
Yes, our converter provides accurate indicative rates for planning and comparison. However, for actual business transactions, always confirm the rate with your bank or payment provider as they may apply different rates and fees.
8. How many currencies does this converter support?
Our currency converter supports 150+ world currencies, including all major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.), popular currencies for remittances (AED, SAR, KWD), and many emerging market currencies.
9. Is this currency converter free to use?
Yes! Our currency converter is completely free with no hidden charges. You can perform unlimited conversions without signing up or paying anything.
10. Why do NRIs track USD to INR rates?
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) monitor USD to INR rates to maximize the value of their remittances. A favorable exchange rate means more rupees for the same dollar amount, making it important to track rate movements.
