How to convert USD to EUR
To convert US dollars to euros, multiply the dollar amount by the USD→EUR exchange rate. The rate moves throughout the day based on supply, demand, and economic news.
Use the converter above for an instant figure, then check your bank or transfer provider for the rate they will actually give you. The difference between the two is the provider's margin.
What affects the USD to EUR rate
- Interest-rate differences between the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
- US and Eurozone inflation prints and growth data.
- Risk sentiment — the dollar tends to strengthen during global stress.
- Energy prices, which historically affect the euro more than the dollar.
Good to know before you convert
- Reference rates ≠ trading rates. Your bank will quote a slightly worse number.
- Card networks add their own FX margin on foreign purchases.
- Wire transfers usually charge a flat fee on top of the rate.
