Formula
Example
To see what 500 US dollars is in rupees, pick USD to PKR and enter 500.
Interbank, open market and bank rates
The rate shown here is a mid-market reference. Banks and exchange companies buy and sell at slightly different rates and add a margin. The open market rate in Pakistan can also differ from the interbank rate, so the rupees you actually get may be a little lower.
Sending money home
For remittances, compare the exchange rate and fees together. A service with zero fee but a poor rate can cost more than one with a small fee and a good rate. Banking channels also help with Roshan Digital and remittance incentive schemes.
Importing and pricing in dollars
If you buy stock priced in dollars or yuan, convert at a slightly worse rate than today to leave a buffer for rate changes before you pay. Then use the selling price calculator to set a safe shelf price.
