Rates are requested when you calculate. No fixed live-rate result is shown here; read the rate date in your actual result.

The method, explained

Converted historical amount = amount × historical reference rate. The returned observation date is shown separately from the requested date.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

If the historical rate were 0.85 EUR per USD, 200 USD would equal 170 EUR on that reference basis.

What to keep in mind

Dates begin in 1999; coverage varies by currency. Missing dates may use a preceding observation or return an error. This does not adjust for inflation.
