Currency Converter — free online tool
Travellers and freelancers convert amounts using live daily mid-market rates (160+ currencies) through our first-party API—ideal for trip budgets and invoice estimates without opening a banking app.
When to use Currency Converter
Travel budgets, freelancing invoices, and expense claims when you need a live mid-market conversion without opening a banking app.
Cross-check anything that affects money or health with a qualified professional or official source.
What Currency Converter does not do
Mid-market rates are not your card’s FX markup. We do not book transfers or guarantee a bank’s sell rate at checkout.
How to use Currency Converter
- Choose source and target currencies from the dropdowns (list loads from live rates).
- Type the amount you want to convert.
- Press Convert to fetch the live rate and see the result with the rate timestamp.
- Copy the figure into your expense sheet or trip budget.
Practical tips
- Rates refresh through our API (cached upstream)—reload if markets moved sharply today.
- Banks and cards add a margin, so budget 1–3% above the converted figure for real spending.
- Save a screenshot if you need the rate on a specific date for an expense claim.
Example
100 USD → PKR using today’s mid-market rate for a freelance invoice estimate.

Limitations
Rates refresh through our API cache (typically daily). Offline or failed fetch shows an error instead of a stale silent number.

Frequently asked questions about Currency Converter
Are the exchange rates live?
Yes. Our API fetches daily mid-market rates from an upstream feed and caches them. Exact bank or card rates may still differ by a small margin.
Do I need an API token to use the on-page converter?
No. The website’s same-origin calls work without a Bearer token. External apps calling /api/currency-converter may need a token once auth is enabled on your deployment.
