PKR Currency Converter

Every rate in the table is the number of rupees one unit of the currency costs. To convert between any two currencies, the converter goes through the rupee: it turns your amount into rupees, then into the currency you chose. Rupees to a foreign currency divides by that currency's rate; a foreign currency to rupees multiplies by it.

At today's indicative rate of Rs 276.73, 1,000 US dollars is Rs 276,730.00, and Rs 1,000,000 is 3,613.63 US dollars. Between two foreign currencies, 1,000 US dollars is 3,748.71 Saudi riyals, worked out through the rupee. If a dealer's spread is 0.5% (an example, not a quote), selling 1,000 dollars would bring you about Rs 275,346.35 instead, which is Rs 1,383.65 less than the plain conversion.

There is no single "dollar rate" in Pakistan. Several rates exist at the same time, and they are close but not equal. For today's open market and interbank rates side by side, see the dollar rate in Pakistan page.

Investify shows an indicative market rate: a reference that moves with the market, not a quote from a particular dealer. Where the feed gives a buy and a sell price, we show the sell (ask) price. Use it to plan and compare, and always confirm the exact rate and fees with the bank or exchange company before you transact.

A dealer buys a currency from you below the market rate and sells it to you above the market rate. The gap is the spread, and it is how they cover their costs and make money. The rate here is the selling (ask) price, so when you buy a foreign currency with rupees you pay about the rate shown. When you sell a foreign currency, or swap one for another, you get the lower buying price and end up with a little less than the plain conversion. The advanced option lets you enter the spread a dealer quotes, as a percentage of the rate, and takes it off when you sell. Compare two or three dealers for large amounts, because a small difference in spread is a real amount of money.

If you earn abroad, the rupee value of your savings depends on the rate you actually receive after the transfer provider's margin and fees. Compare the final rupees delivered, not the advertised rate. Overseas Pakistanis can also open a Roshan Digital Account and buy PSX shares; read the Roshan Digital Account guide for how it works.

The dollar rate feeds into the cost of imported fuel and raw materials, the rupee value of export earnings and dollar-linked contracts, and foreign investors' returns. Companies that earn in dollars tend to gain when the rupee weakens, while companies that import inputs can see costs rise. Watch the rate alongside gold, which is priced internationally in dollars, with the gold price calculator, and see how rising prices erode purchasing power with the inflation calculator.
