Average exchange rate for any period
Choose a pair of currencies, choose 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or your own start and end dates, and the tool shows the average rate at the top. Below it you can see the highest and lowest rate, the change over the period, a chart and a table you can group by day, week, month or year. You can also download the table as a CSV file for a spreadsheet.
Good to know
- Mid-market rates. These are reference rates, not what a bank or exchange shop will give you.
- History limits. Major currencies go back to 1999, others to March 2024.
- Average of readings. Long periods use sampled days, which keeps the page quick and gives a very close average.

Frequently asked questions
How is the average rate worked out?
It is the simple average of the daily rates in the period you choose. For long periods the tool reads one rate every few days to stay fast, and tells you when it does.
How far back does the history go?
Major currencies (the ones the European Central Bank publishes, such as USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, INR, CNY) go back to 1999. Other currencies, including PKR, AED and SAR, go back to March 2024. If you pick earlier dates the tool moves the start date and says so.
Why is there no rate for weekends in some tables?
Pairs from the European Central Bank have rates on working days only. Other pairs have a rate for every day.
Can I use these averages for tax or accounts?
Use them as a guide. Tax offices and accountants often require an official rate, such as a central bank rate, so check what applies to you.
