Currency Converter
Convert an amount between the dollar, euro, pound, yen and franc using the ECB daily reference rates. The rate is a fixing, not a quote: it carries no spread, so the calculator lets you add the fee your bank or card would charge.
| Currency | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| GBP | 0.7476 | 747.61 |
| JPY | 157.0460 | 1.570e+5 |
| CHF | 0.8220 | 822.04 |
The JPY quote is per euro, not per dollar; the cross-rate handles that.
rate(USD→EUR) = X(EUR) / X(USD) · Both quoted per euro.
amount_to = amount_from × rate × (1 − fee) · The fee is deducted after conversion.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my bank rate different?
The ECB fixing carries no spread; a bank adds a margin and may use a different timestamp.
Can I convert at a future date?
No. The snapshot is a single fixing; a forward rate is a different calculation.
