USD to HKD Converter (US Dollar to Hong Kong Dollar)

The Hong Kong dollar (HKD, HK$) is divided into 100 cents and managed by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). Unusually, most of its banknotes are issued by three commercial banks, HSBC, Bank of China (Hong Kong) and Standard Chartered, each printing its own designs of the HK$20 to HK$1,000 notes. The HK$10 note and all circulating coins are issued by the government.

Travelers, business visitors and people relocating to Hong Kong convert US dollars to HK$ to budget hotels, rent and daily costs, and companies use it for invoices from Hong Kong trading firms. Because the HKMA keeps the Hong Kong dollar within a fixed band against the US dollar, the result can only move within narrow limits.

How to use this tool

1. Type an amount in USD to see it in HKD, or type in the HKD 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

HKD amount = USD amount × rate

USD amount = HKD amount ÷ rate

The rate is the value of 1 USD in HKD 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:

100 USD × 7.84232 = 784.23 HKD

1,000 HKD ÷ 7.84232 = 127.51 USD

The Linked Exchange Rate System

Since October 17, 1983, Hong Kong has run a Linked Exchange Rate System, a currency board under which the HKMA keeps the exchange rate within a band of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85 per US dollar. Inside that band the market rate moves freely; at either edge the HKMA buys or sells Hong Kong dollars to hold it in place.

The band applies to the interbank market, not to what a bank counter or card issuer gives you: their buying and selling rates add a spread, and card networks apply their own conversion.

Notes and coins in Hong Kong

Notes in everyday use are HK$10, HK$20, HK$50, HK$100, HK$500 and HK$1,000, and coins run from 10, 20 and 50 cents to HK$1, HK$2, HK$5 and HK$10. Hong Kong has no general sales tax, so the price on the tag is normally what you pay, though restaurants often add a service charge.

Quick mental estimate

Multiply USD by 7.8 for a rough HKD figure: 20 USD → about 156 HKD. That factor is 0.54% below the saved rate.

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