Currency Converter
Live exchange rates updated in real-time
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Currency Converter work?
It multiplies the amount in the base currency by the exchange rate of the target currency.
Are exchange rates in this tool updated in real-time?
This currency tool is a local conversion calculator. You can input custom or current market exchange rates manually for accurate conversions.
What is base currency vs quote currency?
The base currency is the currency you want to convert from (e.g. USD). The quote currency is the currency you are converting to (e.g. INR).
What is a markup or currency spread?
A spread is the difference between buy and sell prices charged by exchange banks. Real-world exchanges often add a 1% to 3% markup over the mid-market rate.
Can I convert currencies offline?
Yes. Once loaded, the converter runs locally in your browser and works completely offline since rates are entered manually.
Does this converter save my transaction history?
No, all values are processed client-side and deleted once you close or reload the browser page.
Can I convert fractions of currency (cents/paise)?
Yes, the inputs support decimals, allowing you to convert exact currency fractions.
Why do rates vary between conversion platforms?
Some platforms show mid-market rates (interbank rates), while others list retail rates that already include service margins or conversion fees.
