How to convert dollars to pounds
Pounds = dollars × USD/GBP rate
If 1 USD = 0.76 GBP, then $100 = £76. To go the other way, divide: £100 ÷ 0.76 = $131.58.
Mid-market rate vs the rate you get
The rate shown is the mid-market rate – the midpoint between buy and sell prices. Banks, airports and many cards add a margin of 1–5% or a foreign transaction fee. Enter that percentage in the fee box to see what you will really receive.
Tips for better exchange rates
- Use a card with no foreign transaction fees when travelling.
- Always pay in the local currency when a card machine asks – “dynamic currency conversion” uses poor rates.
- Avoid airport exchange kiosks.
