Currency Converter (manual rate)
Type in the exchange rate you're looking at and convert an amount between currencies in real time. Because you enter the rate, no rate-fetching call is made; as long as the page stays open it keeps working, and your input never leaves the browser. The reverse conversion is shown alongside.
How to use the currency converter
Enter the amount, the from currency, the to currency, and the exchange rate, and the result updates in real time. The rate is the number in "1 [from] = ? [to]". Not sure where to start? Tap a chip under "Examples (click to try)" and the amount, currencies and rate fill in, with the result shown at once.
Example: set From to "USD", To to "JPY", Amount to 100 and Rate to 150 (1 dollar = 150 yen), and the result reads 15,000 JPY. Change the amount to 250 and it updates to 37,500 JPY without pressing anything. Below the result, the reverse rate appears as "1 JPY = 0.006667 USD".
A faster path: amount and rate convert on every keystroke, and the โ button swaps from/to while inverting the rate. Look up the current rate via a search or your bank/brokerage app, then type that value in.
