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.

CNY stands for Chinese yuan renminbi — the official currency of the People's Republic of China. It is also referred to as RMB. The symbol is ¥ and the ISO 4217 code is CNY.

GBP stands for British Pounds Sterling — the official currency of the United Kingdom. The symbol is £ and the ISO 4217 code is GBP. It is one of the oldest and most traded currencies in the world.

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. Rates fluctuate continuously, so always fetch a fresh rate before large transfers.

How much is 1 CNY to GBP?

1 CNY = £1 divided by the number of yuan per pound. The rate box above is pre-filled with the latest yuan-per-pound reference rate from our hourly rate table, and the results panel shows the value of 1 CNY in pounds.

My source quotes pounds per yuan. What rate do I enter?

The calculator expects yuan per £1. Divide 1 by the pounds-per-yuan figure to get it: a quote of x GBP per CNY becomes 1 ÷ x CNY per GBP. The results panel shows both directions so you can check it.
