Where does the default exchange rate come from?

The default rate shown is a recent mid-market reference. Because exchange rates change every day (and can move significantly in hours), always replace it with a current rate from your bank, broker, or a site like xe.com before making any real financial decision.

How do I get today's GBP to CAD rate?

Visit xe.com, Google Finance, or your bank's website and search for "GBP CAD". Use the mid-market rate for reference, or your bank's buy/sell rate if you are actually exchanging money. Then type it into the Exchange Rate field above.

Can I convert CAD back to GBP?

Yes. Click the swap arrows button between the two fields to reverse the conversion direction. The exchange rate adjusts automatically so the math stays correct.

How accurate is the conversion?

The arithmetic is exact to the precision JavaScript supports. Results are displayed rounded to 2 decimal places, which matches standard currency formatting. The only source of inaccuracy is the exchange rate you supply.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No amounts, rates, or personal information are transmitted to any server.

What is the difference between the mid-market rate and my bank's rate?

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between global buy and sell prices — a neutral reference. Banks and exchange services add a spread (margin) on top, so the rate you actually receive will differ. For large sums, compare rates from multiple providers.

How much is 100 GBP in CAD?

Multiply 100 by the current GBP/CAD rate. At a rate of 1.74, 100 GBP = 174.00 CAD. Enter 100 in the GBP field above with your live rate to see the exact figure.

Is the Pound stronger than the Canadian Dollar?

Yes, GBP typically trades above 1.00 against CAD, meaning one Pound buys more than one Canadian Dollar. The exact rate fluctuates with economic conditions in both countries. Always check xe.com or your bank for the current rate.
