Instructions - How to use this converter

Most of our users start with a question that looks something like one of the following: “How many Euros can I buy with my US Dollars?” "How many Euros are there in 1 US Dollar?” "The website is charging me US $29.99, how many Euros is that?”
Step1: The first thing we need to do is decide our ‘FROM’ currency. In all of the example questions above we want to convert our US Dollars into Euros. So, the US Dollar is our ‘FROM’ currency. To select our ‘FROM’ currency we click on the top, right-hand box. A list will appear and we scroll until we find USD (short for US Dollar). This is shown in the picture to the right. Our currency calculator has USD selected as a default currency already and by clicking on the box you will see that there are many more to choose from.
Step 2: Now we need to select our ‘TO’ currency. So, using our example questions, if the USD is our ‘FROM’ currency then the Euro (EUR for short) is our ‘TO’ currency. To select our ‘TO’ currency repeat the instruction in step 1 on the middle, right-hand box (see picture to the right). Here EUR is a default value but there are many more to choose from.
Step 3: Now we need to enter the number of US Dollars we would like converted into Euros. To do this you must click on the top left-hand box, remove the value that is already in the box (0 in this case) and enter the value that you would like our currency converter to process for you. We have used the example of $29.99
Stage 4: To complete the calculation you must click the ‘=’ button which can be found at the bottom on the right-hand side.
Stage 5: Finally you can retrieve the results of the conversion by looking in the bottom left-hand box. At the time of writing US $29.99 was worth €22.32.
You can carry on and do as many free currency conversions as you like by simply repeating steps 1-5. You may wish to explore the many different currencies our conversion calculator supports!

Why Carry Out a Currency Conversion?

We always hear the phrase “the World is getting smaller”. Of course this doesn’t mean that the planet is literally shrinking! The phrase is referring to the fact that it is always getting easier and quicker to travel and make contact with other parts of the World.

Travel, whether it is for business or pleasure, makes it necessary to exchange your domestic currency for that of the currency used at your destination. So, a currency converter is useful for finding out how much ‘bang for your buck’ you will get abroad.

It is not just travel that requires a currency exchange; foreign business investment does too. Maybe you want to expand your business and open a branch abroad, research wage expenses or invest in residential property/ real estate abroad (becoming increasingly popular). Converting house prices is a must when considering your investments.
