How Exchange Rates Work

An exchange rate is the price of one country's currency expressed in terms of another country's currency. Most of the world's major currencies operate on a "floating" exchange rate system. This means their value is determined by the foreign exchange market (Forex) based on supply and demand.

Factors that influence exchange rates include:

• Inflation Rates: Countries with consistently lower inflation exhibit a rising currency value.
• Interest Rates: Higher interest rates offer lenders in an economy a higher return, attracting foreign capital and causing the exchange rate to rise.
• Public Debt: Countries with large national debts are less attractive to foreign investors, which can lead to a weaker currency.
• Political Stability: Investors seek safe havens. Political turmoil often results in a depreciation of a country's currency.

The Hidden Costs of Currency Conversion

It is important to note that the rate you see on our calculator (and on Google) is the mid-market rate. This is the rate banks use to trade with one another. However, when you, as a consumer, convert money at a bank, airport kiosk, or via PayPal, you will almost never get this exact rate.
