Where does the exchange rate come from?

The rate box is pre-filled with the latest mid-market reference rate from our rate table, which is checked every hour against a public feed of daily reference rates. The line under the box shows when the rate was last updated and its source. Banks and card providers add a spread, so type your bank's rate over it when you need the exact amount.

How accurate is the conversion?

The math is exact to the number of decimal places your browser supports. The display rounds to 2 decimal places for readability, matching standard currency formatting.

Can I convert USD back to BRL?

Yes. Click the swap arrows button between the two fields to reverse the direction instantly; the calculator automatically switches between multiplying and dividing by your chosen rate.

Is my data sent to any server?

No. All calculation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is transmitted anywhere.

What exchange rate should I use?

Use the mid-market rate for a reference figure, or your bank's buy/sell rate for actual transactions. BRL/USD rates fluctuate continuously, so always fetch a fresh rate before large transfers.

What is the symbol for the Brazilian Real?

The Brazilian Real uses the symbol R$ and the ISO 4217 currency code BRL. The US Dollar uses the symbol $ and the code USD.

How much is 100 BRL in USD?

Divide 100 by the number of BRL per USD. The rate box above is pre-filled with that figure from our latest reference rates, so type 100 in the BRL field to see the amount at today's rate. Your bank's figure will differ by its spread.
