  2. Select the source currency and target currency from the dropdown menus
  3. Click convert or use the swap button to reverse the currency pair and see the exchange rate

The Formula

The calculator converts the source currency to USD first, then from USD to the target currency. The exchange rate between any two currencies is derived by dividing the target currency's USD rate by the source currency's USD rate.

USD Amount = Source Amount ÷ Source Rate to USD | Converted Amount = USD Amount × Target Rate from USD
