Manual Currency Conversion Calculator
Convert an amount between Australian dollars and a foreign currency using an exchange rate you enter yourself.
Check a live rate from your bank or the RBA before relying on this.
Your results
Exchange rates change constantly — confirm the current official rate before travelling or transferring money.
Calculation breakdown
- AUD to foreign
- Amount × Rate
- Foreign to AUD
- Amount ÷ Rate
Worked example
Converting $500 AUD at a rate of 0.65 gives 325 units of foreign currency. Always check the current rate as it moves daily.
Assumptions
- The exchange rate is a manual input you must check yourself; no live rate is fetched.
- Does not include any bank fee or margin — see the Exchange Rate Margin calculator for that.
How this calculator works
Enter an amount and the current exchange rate to convert between AUD and a foreign currency in either direction. Because exchange rates move constantly, always check a live rate from your bank or the Reserve Bank of Australia before relying on this figure.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the current exchange rate?
Check your bank's app, a currency comparison site, or the Reserve Bank of Australia's published exchange rates for an indicative mid-market figure.
Why is the rate my bank gives me different?
Banks and currency providers add a margin on top of the mid-market rate, so the rate you're offered is usually less favourable than the reference rate.
Can I use this for both directions?
Yes, switch the conversion direction field to convert AUD to foreign currency or foreign currency back to AUD using the same rate.
