About the US dollar and the rupee
The dollar is the currency most Indians deal with: students paying American tuition, freelancers invoicing US clients, importers, families sending or receiving money, and anyone buying US stocks or ETFs.
- The US dollar is the world’s main reserve and trade currency, so most other rates (including the rupee’s) are first quoted against it.
- Card payments abroad and on international websites are usually billed in dollars, then converted to rupees by your bank with its own markup.

Reference rate vs the rate you actually get
This page shows the mid-market (reference) rate — the midpoint between buying and selling prices in the interbank market. It is the fairest number to compare against, but nobody outside the interbank market trades exactly at it.
Banks, forex counters, cards and money-transfer apps add a margin to the rate and may charge a fee on top, so the amount you receive or pay is usually less favourable. Before any transaction, ask for the final amount in USD, and compare two or three providers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the INR to USD exchange rate today?
The live reference rate is shown just under the converter together with the date it was published. Rates move during the day and the free feeds we use update about once a day, so treat it as a close guide rather than a quote you can transact at.
Why is my bank’s or forex dealer’s rate different?
The converter shows the mid-market rate. Banks and money-transfer services add their own margin and often a fee, so the amount you actually get is normally a little lower. Compare the final amount, not just the headline rate.
How much is 1 lakh rupees in US dollars?
Use the quick-reference table on this page: it recalculates with the latest rate for 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 1,00,000 rupees.
Can I use this for invoices, tax or customs?
Use it for estimates. For invoices, tax filing or customs, use the rate your bank gives you or the rate officially notified for that purpose (for example, the customs exchange rate notified by CBIC for imports and exports).
Does the rate update in real time?
The page fetches the latest published rate each time you open it (and keeps a saved copy for 30 minutes). The free sources we use publish roughly once a day, so it is not a tick-by-tick trading price.
