What exchange rate does this tool use?

This tool uses a reference rate refreshed hourly from a public rate feed, with the last-updated time shown on the page. For real-time rates, consult your bank or a live forex service.

Is this a live currency converter?

The rate refreshes hourly from a public feed rather than streaming continuously, and you can enter your own rate to override it. Exchange rates move throughout the day, so always verify with your bank or broker before making financial transactions.

Can I convert JPY back to GBP?

Yes. Simply type in the JPY field and the GBP equivalent will appear instantly in the GBP field.

Why does JPY show no decimal places?

The Japanese Yen does not have a minor currency unit (like cents or pence), so yen amounts are conventionally displayed as whole numbers.

How accurate is this converter?

Results are mathematically accurate to the reference rate shown on the page. The accuracy of the rate itself depends on market conditions and how recently it refreshed.

Does this tool store my data?

No data is stored or transmitted. All calculations are performed locally in your browser.
