JPY to USD Converter (Japanese Yen to US Dollar)
1 JPY = 0.00632817 USD at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Price a yen amount in US dollars, from a ¥500 coin to a ¥1,000,000 purchase.
A yen price (JPY, ¥) is always a whole number, while the dollar result (USD, $) is counted in cents, so turning yen into dollars means rounding to two decimal places. The Bank of Japan issues the notes behind those yen prices; dollar banknotes are Federal Reserve notes.
Collectors buying figures, games, cameras or vintage clothing from Japanese online shops and auction proxies need this direction most, since listings are in yen and the card charge arrives in dollars. Japanese travelers to the United States use it to see what their yen savings cover, and Americans paid in yen convert their earnings for US tax and bank records.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in JPY to see it in USD, or type in the USD box to convert the other way.
- Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
- Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.
Formula
USD amount = JPY amount × rate
JPY amount = USD amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 JPY 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:
8,800 JPY × 0.00632817 = 55.69 USD
75 USD ÷ 0.00632817 = 11,852 JPY

Reading a Japanese online price
Japanese listings often show two figures: 税込 (zeikomi) is the price including consumption tax and 税抜 (zeinuki) is the price before tax. Convert the tax-included figure, then add domestic and international shipping, which many shops quote separately in yen. Some stores remove consumption tax on goods exported directly to you, so read the final yen total at checkout.
Your US card is then charged in dollars at the card network's rate, plus any foreign transaction fee your issuer applies. A checkout page that offers to bill you in dollars is setting its own conversion rate, which is usually less favorable than paying in yen and letting your card convert.
Quick mental estimate
Divide JPY by 160 for a rough USD figure: 2,000 JPY → about 12.5 USD. That shortcut is 1.3% above the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert yen income for a US tax return?
The IRS asks for dollar amounts and tells taxpayers to use the rate prevailing when the income is received or paid; it has no official rate of its own. Its table of yearly average exchange rates includes the Japanese yen.
Do I have to report yen cash when I fly into the United States?
Yes, if all the currency and monetary instruments you carry exceed $10,000 in total. The report goes to US Customs and Border Protection on FinCEN Form 105, and yen counts at its dollar value.
Will a US bank buy back my leftover yen?
Many US banks and airport exchange desks buy back foreign banknotes but not coins, and their buying rate sits below the mid-market figure shown here. Spending yen coins before you leave Japan avoids carrying change you cannot exchange.
Is this the live exchange rate?
No. The page uses a snapshot of mid-market rates saved when the site was last updated, and the rate line shows its date. Your bank, card issuer or transfer service quotes its own rate, usually with a margin or fee, so the amount you actually receive will differ.
