About the PKR Currency Converter (USD, SAR, AED, GBP, EUR)

This converter turns foreign currency into Pakistani rupees, or rupees into foreign currency, using the exchange rate you were quoted. Choose the currency, enter the rate in rupees per unit and the date of that rate, then enter the amount. The result is labelled with the rate and date you used, and a quick-reference table shows common amounts at the same rate.

It covers the currencies most used by Pakistani families and businesses: US dollar, Saudi riyal, UAE dirham, British pound, euro, Canadian and Australian dollars, Qatari riyal, Kuwaiti dinar, Omani rial, Chinese yuan, Malaysian ringgit and Turkish lira. It deliberately does not show “live” rates, because an unofficial or outdated rate can be misleading when real money is involved. Calculations run in your browser.

How do exchange rates work in Pakistan?

An exchange rate is the price of one currency in another, such as how many rupees one US dollar costs. In Pakistan there is no single rate. The interbank rate is the rate at which banks trade with each other. The open market rate is what exchange companies charge or pay for cash. And the rate you actually get from your bank, a money transfer service or an exchange counter includes that provider’s margin. The State Bank of Pakistan publishes reference rates for information.

Rates also differ by direction: a provider buys foreign currency from you at a lower rate than it sells it to you. Remittances from abroad, card payments in foreign currency and cash exchange can all use different rates on the same day.

Converting is simple once you have the right rate. Foreign to rupees: amount × rate. Rupees to foreign: amount ÷ rate. The hard part is knowing which rate applies to your transaction, which is why this tool asks you to enter it and records its date.

How to use the PKR Currency Converter (USD, SAR, AED, GBP, EUR)

1. Choose the Currency, for example USD — US Dollar or SAR — Saudi Riyal.
2. Enter the Rate in rupees per one unit of that currency, exactly as quoted by your bank, transfer service or exchange company.
3. Set the Rate date so your result records when the rate applied. It defaults to today.
4. Choose the direction: Foreign → PKR or PKR → foreign.
5. Enter the Amount and read the result, the rate label and the quick-reference table. Use Copy result to share it.

The quick-reference table recalculates for 1, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 5,000 units, or for the matching rupee amounts when converting from PKR.

Practical examples

Remittance from Saudi Arabia

A family receives SAR 2,000. The transfer service quoted Rs 74.50 per riyal (an example quote, not today’s rate). The result is Rs 149,000, labelled with that rate and its date.

Paying an overseas invoice

A freelancer needs to pay USD 500 for software. The bank quotes Rs 280 per dollar (an example figure). The cost is Rs 140,000, before any card or bank fees.

How many dollars for a budget

A student has Rs 50,000 to spend on books from abroad. Choose PKR → foreign with USD at the same example rate of 280: 178.57 dollars.

Comparing two quotes

One exchange counter offers Rs 74.50 per riyal and another Rs 75.00. On SAR 2,000 the difference is Rs 1,000. Convert with both rates to see the gap, or use the remittance calculator to compare providers including fees.

Which rate should I enter?

The right rate depends on the transaction. This table shows where to get the figure for common situations:

Common use cases

• Families receiving remittances check how many rupees a transfer should deliver.
• Freelancers convert dollar earnings and overseas payments to rupees.
• Students and travellers budget for fees, books and trips abroad.
• Importers and small traders estimate the rupee cost of foreign invoices.
• Hajj and Umrah travellers plan riyal amounts from a rupee budget.

Accuracy, limitations and privacy

The arithmetic is exact: amount × rate or amount ÷ rate, rounded to two decimal places for display. The accuracy of the result depends entirely on the rate you enter. Fees, commissions, card foreign-transaction charges and taxes are not included unless you account for them in the rate.

No rates are fetched from the internet and nothing you enter is stored. This is intentional: without a reliable licensed data feed, a “live” rate could be stale or simply wrong. For official reference rates, see the State Bank of Pakistan’s website.

• No live or official rates are provided.
• Fees and charges are not included; compare providers with the remittance calculator.
• Results are for planning and checking quotes, not for official accounting.

Tips and best practices

• Always ask for the rate and the fees together; a “zero fee” service may use a lower rate.
• Compare buy and sell rates: the gap between them is the provider’s margin.
• Send remittances through banks and licensed money transfer operators, not informal channels.
• Note the date and source of the rate when sharing a calculation with family or clients.
• For large amounts, ask several banks or exchange companies for quotes on the same day.
