KRW to USD Converter (Korean Won to US Dollar)
1 KRW = 0.000743613 USD at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. See what a won amount is worth in US dollars, from a café bill to a yearly salary.
The won (KRW, ₩) is counted in whole units, while the US dollar (USD, $) splits into 100 cents, so a won amount turned into dollars comes out with two decimal places that you may need to round. US banknotes are Federal Reserve notes in denominations of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.
People in Korea run this conversion before paying for anything priced in dollars: tuition at an American university, an order from a US online store, a hotel for a trip to New York or Hawaii, or goods at Korean duty-free shops, which display their prices in dollars. Americans who earn won in Korea need it too, because US tax returns and account reports must be completed in dollars.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in KRW to see it in USD, or type in the USD box to convert the other way.

Formula
USD amount = KRW amount × rate
KRW amount = USD amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 KRW 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:
35,000 KRW × 0.000743613 = 26.03 USD
600 USD ÷ 0.000743613 = 806,872 KRW

Won income and accounts on US forms
The IRS requires every amount on a US tax return to be expressed in US dollars. Its general rule is to use the exchange rate prevailing when you receive, pay or accrue an item; it states that it has no official exchange rate of its own, and it publishes a table of yearly average rates that includes the South Korean won.
A separate filing, the FBAR (FinCEN Form 114), applies to US persons whose foreign financial accounts together exceed $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. Korean bank, savings and brokerage accounts count toward that total once their won balances are converted to dollars.
Quick mental estimate
Divide KRW by 1,300 for a rough USD figure: 30,000 KRW → about 23.08 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.
Frequently asked questions
How do I read a duty-free price tag in Korea?
Duty-free shops in Korea show prices in US dollars. If you pay in won, the shop converts the dollar price at an exchange rate it sets, so this page gives a close estimate of the won you will need but not the exact charge.
How much cash can I take out of Korea without reporting it?
Korea Customs Service requires no report when the won notes, foreign currency and other means of payment you carry total less than US$10,000. Above that, a report or permission is needed, and which one depends on the purpose of the money and whether you live in Korea.
Why does my card statement show a different dollar amount?
Your card network converts the won charge when it processes the transaction, which can be a day or two after the purchase, and your issuer may add a foreign transaction fee. The figure here is a mid-market estimate without either of those.
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.
