How this tool works

The calculator securely fetches a current public reference rate for your selected pair over HTTPS, then multiplies it by your amount locally in your browser.

Frankfurter aggregates rates from central banks and official sources. The data is refreshed automatically every 15 minutes while this page is open, though reference rates are normally published on working days rather than continuously.

Frequently asked questions

How current are these exchange rates?
The tool requests the provider's latest available reference rate when the page opens and whenever you refresh it. Reference rates are normally updated once each working day, rather than continuously during the day.
Will I get this exact rate from a bank or bureau?
Not necessarily. Banks, card networks and bureaus add their own margin or fees. Use this as a reference rate and check your provider's final quote before sending or exchanging money.
Is my amount sent anywhere?
No. Your entered amount stays in your browser. Only the selected currency pair is sent to the public rate provider to retrieve a rate; this tool uses no API key or account.
