Currency converter for India
Planning a trip to Dubai, paying for a course in the UK, or checking what a salary in dollars means in rupees? Thiscurrency converter uses the day's official reference rates for over 30 currencies, including the Gulf currencies most Indian families deal with. Because the rate you actually get from a bank or card is always a little worse, you can add a typical margin to see a realistic figure.
How to use it
- Enter the amount and choose the currencies to convert from and to.
- Pick your bank or card's margin for a realistic figure.
- Tap Swap to convert the other way.
Pegged Gulf currencies
| Currency | Fixed to the US dollar |
|---|---|
| UAE dirham (AED) | 1 USD = 3.6725 AED |
| Saudi riyal (SAR) | 1 USD = 3.75 SAR |
| Qatari riyal (QAR) | 1 USD = 3.64 QAR |
| Omani rial (OMR) | 1 OMR = 2.6008 USD |
| Bahraini dinar (BHD) | 1 BHD = 2.6596 USD |
Example
If the reference rate is ₹96.40 per dollar, ₹1,00,000 converts to about $1,037. Paying by a card with a 3.5% foreign-currency markup, you'd effectively get about $1,001 — around $36 less. On a trip, those margins add up, so compare forex cards and cards with low markups. Converting units rather than money? Use theunit converter.
