Whether you’re budgeting for travel, comparing overseas prices, paying an international invoice, or checking what your pounds are worth today, this converter gives you a quick, clear answer. Pick any currency, enter an amount, and get an instant conversion.
Rates update automatically (cached every few hours), but you can switch on manual rate mode and type your own rate if needed.
Estimates only — always confirm the final rate used by your bank or provider.
How to use the currency converter
- Enter an amount you want to convert.
- Select your “From” currency (e.g. GBP).
- Select your “To” currency (e.g. EUR or USD).
- See the converted total instantly.
- If needed, enable manual rate and type your own exchange rate.
When manual rate is useful
- Bank transfer quotes: banks often give a “rate you’ll get today”.
- Card purchases abroad: card providers may use their own FX rate.
- Broker rates: currency brokers can differ from public market rates.
- Planning: use a more cautious rate to budget safely.
Manual mode lets you match real-world rates instead of relying on the default feed.

Frequently asked questions
Does the exchange rate update automatically?
Yes. Rates are fetched automatically and cached for a few hours so the converter loads fast. This means most users will see an up-to-date rate without any delay.
Can I type my own exchange rate?
Yes. Turn on manual rate and enter your own value (for example a bank transfer rate, card provider rate, or broker quote). The converter will use your manual rate instead of the live rate.
Why might my bank rate be different?
Banks and providers may add a margin, fees, or use a different cut-off time. That’s why the manual rate option is useful when you’re converting for a real transaction.
Is this converter suitable for travel budgeting?
Yes. It’s great for estimating spending money, comparing hotel or flight prices, and checking what an amount is worth in another currency. For safety, you can budget using a slightly worse manual rate.
Important
This currency converter provides estimates for budgeting and comparison. Actual exchange rates may vary depending on your bank, card provider, transfer service, fees, and timing. Always confirm the final rate before making a payment or transfer.
