USD to CAD Converter (US Dollar to Canadian Dollar)
1 USD = 1.41128 CAD at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Change US dollars into Canadian dollars for a Canada trip, a cross-border job or an order.
Canada’s dollar (CAD) has the same sign as the American one, $, so a price on a Canadian shelf is not in the currency of the United States unless it says so. The Bank of Canada issues the polymer banknotes, and the Royal Canadian Mint makes the coins. A Canadian dollar splits into 100 cents, and nicknames like loonie and toonie describe the one- and two-dollar coins.
Americans changing dollars into Canadian dollars include vacationers to Banff, Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal, cross-border shoppers, snowbirds who own a cottage, and companies invoicing a Canadian customer. It also matters for Americans working in Canada or paying fees in Canadian dollars, such as tuition or a licence.

Formula
CAD amount = USD amount × rate
USD amount = CAD amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 USD in CAD 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:
300 USD × 1.41128 = 423.38 CAD
80 CAD ÷ 1.41128 = 56.69 USD

Canadian money in your pocket
Banknotes are $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. Coins are 5, 10 and 25 cents, the $1 loonie and the $2 toonie. The penny is no longer distributed, so cash totals are rounded to the nearest five cents, while card payments are charged to the exact cent.
Both countries accept some of each other’s cash in border towns, yet the rate they use is their own and usually poor. A debit or credit card is simpler, and a Canadian ATM will pay out Canadian dollars.
Prices, tax and the dollar sign
Shelf prices in Canada usually exclude sales tax, which is added at the till and varies by province, and the same applies to restaurant bills. A tip is customary in table-service restaurants. When you compare a Canadian price with a US one, convert the amount you actually pay at the till after tax rather than the tag price.
Quick mental estimate
Multiply USD by 1.4 for a rough CAD figure: 20 USD → about 28 CAD. That factor is 0.8% below the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two dollars the same size or design?
No. Canadian notes are polymer and use different colors and portraits than the US notes, and each currency has its own coin sizes. Only the sign and name are shared.
What is a loonie?
The loonie is the Canadian one-dollar coin, named after the bird on its back. The two-dollar coin is nicknamed the toonie.
Where can I see an official Canadian dollar rate?
The Bank of Canada publishes daily exchange rates on its website. Banks and card issuers apply their own rates when you buy currency or pay abroad.
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.
