Track Your RatesHow to calculate exchange rates
To calculate an exchange rate, simply multiply your home currency by the current rate.
When dealing with currency exchange, it's essential to know how to convert between your local currency and a foreign currency. Here's a straightforward guide to help you understand the process.
Converting Local Currency to Foreign Currency
To convert your local currency (e.g. NZD) to a foreign currency (e.g. USD), you need to multiply the amount by the exchange rate. For example, if the exchange rate is 0.65, you can calculate it as follows:
Example:
- NZD 100 * 0.65 = USD 65
This means NZD 100 is equivalent to USD 65.
Converting Foreign Currency to Local Currency
To find out how much a foreign currency amount will cost in your local currency, you need to divide the foreign amount by the exchange rate. Using the same exchange rate of 0.65, here's how you can do it:
Example:
- USD 100 / 0.65 = NZD 153.85
This means USD 100 is equivalent to NZD 153.85.
By understanding these simple steps, you can easily manage your currency conversions and make informed financial decisions.
Remember, the equivalent foreign currency value you receive may vary depending on whether you're buying or selling, and may include fees or margins. For the most accurate result, use our currency exchange rate calculator.

Currency Jargon Explained
Foreign exchange can be confusing, so to help break through the confusion, here are some common terms:
Sell rate – This is the rate at which we sell foreign currency in exchange for local currency. For example, if you were heading to Europe, you would exchange NZD for euros at the sell rate.
Buy rate – This is the rate at which we buy foreign currency back from you into your local currency. For example, if you were returning from America, we would exchange your USD back into New Zealand dollars at the buy rate of the day.
Holiday money rate or tourist rate – This is another term for a sell rate.
Spot rate – This is known more formally as the ‘interbank’ rate. It is the rate banks or large financial institutions charge each other when trading significant amounts of foreign currency. In the business, this is sometimes referred to as a ‘spot rate’.
Spread – This is the difference between the buy and sell rates offered by a foreign exchange provider such as us.
Cross rate – This is the rate we give to customers who want to exchange currencies that do not involve the local currency. For example, if you want to exchange GBP to EUR.
Commission – This is a common fee that foreign exchange providers charge for exchanging one currency with another.

Exchange Rates FAQ
Where can I get the best currency exchange rate?
Many providers offer better rates online than in-store. To get the best foreign exchange rate, compare online rates from trusted currency exchange providers, steer clear of airport kiosks, and look for deals on larger amounts (e.g. over $2,000).
Should I exchange money before I travel?
Yes — exchanging currency before you travel can save you money. Exchange rates for New Zealand dollars or other currencies may be more favourable at home than abroad, and you'll avoid overseas ATM costs or inflated airport exchange rates.
Do banks still exchange foreign currency?
Some banks still offer foreign exchange services, but not all. You might also find their currency conversion rates differ from specialist companies — and usually not in your favour. For more competitive rates or faster money transfers, dedicated currency exchange services are often a better option.
How can I work out exchange rates?
Use a live exchange rates calculator to find out how much your money is worth in another currency. Just remember: currency conversion rates differ by provider, and the rate you see online may not include service fees or commissions.
How much is $1 in Australia in America?
Exchange rates fluctuate daily, but $1 AUD typically equals around $0.65 US dollar. To get an accurate conversion, use a live exchange rate calculator. Keep in mind that currency conversion rates are also subject to supply and demand and fees may apply depending on how you transfer or exchange your money.
