AUD to USD Converter (Australian Dollar to US Dollar)

An Australian dollar (AUD, $) is a note or coin that is worth little outside Australia, so travelers and businesses have to change it into US dollars at the border. The Reserve Bank of Australia issues the polymer notes, and local prices include a 10 percent goods and services tax, which makes comparisons with American price tags look different.

Converting the Australian way round is common for Australians planning a trip to the United States, parents paying for a child’s exchange year, exporters of wine, minerals or farm goods who invoice in US dollars, and people who order from an American site. It also serves anyone with US dollar investments or an income stream paid from the United States.

How to use this tool

1. Type an amount in AUD to see it in USD, or type in the USD box to convert the other way.
2. Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
3. Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.

Formula

USD amount = AUD amount × rate

AUD amount = USD amount ÷ rate

The rate is the value of 1 AUD in USD in the snapshot of 2026-11-10, read from a table of exchange rates against the US dollar. A bank's buying and selling rates sit on either side of this mid-market figure.

Example

Two conversions at the saved rate:

2,000 AUD × 0.690601 = 1,381.2 USD

70 USD ÷ 0.690601 = 101.36 AUD

Spending Australian money in the US

Australian debit and credit cards work in most American shops, hotels and ATMs, and your bank converts each payment into Australian dollars with the network rate plus any foreign currency fee. In the United States, the posted price omits sales tax, and tipping is customary for waiters, drivers and many other services, so the figure you convert should include them.

If a terminal asks whether to charge you in Australian dollars, think twice. That offer is dynamic currency conversion and the merchant side sets the rate.

Taking cash out of Australia

Travelers who carry 10,000 Australian dollars or more in cash, or the foreign currency equivalent, into or out of Australia have to report it, and the rule applies to the total across all the currencies they carry. Moving money by bank transfer is a normal alternative for larger sums.

Quick mental estimate

Divide AUD by 1.4 for a rough USD figure: 20 AUD → about 14.29 USD. That shortcut is 3.3% below the saved rate.

Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
