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 precision your browser supports. The display rounds to 2 decimal places for USD and to the nearest whole yen for JPY amounts, matching standard currency formatting conventions.

Can I convert JPY back to USD?

Yes. Click the swap arrows button between the two fields to instantly reverse the conversion direction. The calculation inverts while the rate remains quoted as JPY per USD.

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. The USD/JPY rate fluctuates continuously, so always fetch a fresh rate before large transfers.

Why does JPY show no decimal places?

The Japanese yen has no subunit in everyday use — transactions are always in whole yen. The tool follows this convention and rounds the JPY result to the nearest whole number.
