USD to SGD Converter (US Dollar to Singapore Dollar)
1 USD = 1.27951 SGD at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Convert US dollars to Singapore dollars for travel, relocation or business in Singapore.
The Singapore dollar (SGD, S$) is issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which serves as both the central bank and the financial regulator. It divides into 100 cents. Unlike most central banks, MAS centers monetary policy on the exchange rate rather than on an interest rate target.
US dollar holders convert to S$ when they move to Singapore for a regional role, price an apartment lease or school fees, plan a stopover at Changi, or invoice a Singapore company. Employment contracts, leases and most local bills there are written in S$, so the converted figure is what a dollar-based budget has to cover.
How to use this tool
- Type an amount in USD to see it in SGD, or type in the SGD 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
SGD amount = USD amount × rate
USD amount = SGD amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 USD in SGD 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:
500 USD × 1.27951 = 639.75 SGD
1,000 SGD ÷ 1.27951 = 781.55 USD

Singapore notes and coins
The current Portrait Series notes in general use are S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50 and S$100. MAS stopped issuing the S$10,000 note in 2014 and the S$1,000 note from January 1, 2021, though both remain legal tender. Coins of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents and S$1 make up the third series; the 1-cent coin has not been issued since 2002.
Carrying cash into or out of Singapore
Travelers bringing in or taking out cash or bearer negotiable instruments worth more than S$20,000, in any currency, must declare them electronically to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, up to three days before arrival or departure.
Quick mental estimate
Multiply USD by 1.3 for a rough SGD figure: 20 USD → about 26 SGD. That factor is 1.6% above the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Can I spend Brunei dollars in Singapore?
Under an agreement dating from 1967, Brunei and Singapore currencies are exchanged at par and without charge at banks in both countries. Shops are encouraged to accept Brunei notes but cannot be forced to, so carry Singapore dollars for everyday purchases.
Do Singapore prices include GST?
Shops registered for GST generally display prices that already include it. Restaurants and hotels that add a service charge may instead mark prices with "++", meaning service charge and GST are added on the bill.
How does MAS influence the Singapore dollar?
MAS keeps the S$NEER, a trade-weighted measure of the Singapore dollar against the currencies of its main trading partners, within a policy band and adjusts its stance in regular monetary policy statements. The band's exact level and width are not published.
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.
