USD to VND Converter (US Dollar to Vietnamese Dong)
1 USD = 25,527.7 VND at the saved rate of 2026-11-10. Convert US dollars to Vietnamese dong and keep track of the zeros, with tables both ways.
The Vietnamese dong (VND, ₫) is issued by the State Bank of Vietnam. Its old subunits, the hào and the xu, are no longer used, and the largest banknote is 500,000 dong, so everyday prices are long whole numbers. Counting zeros carefully is the main skill this conversion asks for.
Travelers heading to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Hoi An convert dollars to dong for daily spending, and Vietnamese Americans use it to see what a transfer to family will be worth on arrival. Importers buying furniture, garments or electronics from Vietnamese factories use the same direction to read quotes made in dong.
How to use this tool

Formula
VND amount = USD amount × rate
USD amount = VND amount ÷ rate
The rate is the value of 1 USD in VND 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:
40 USD × 25,527.7 = 1,021,108 VND
500,000 VND ÷ 25,527.7 = 19.59 USD

Dong banknotes
Polymer notes cover the larger values: 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 and 500,000 dong. Smaller notes from 100 to 5,000 dong are printed on cotton paper. Coins were issued from 2003 but are seldom handed out today, so change comes in notes.
Menus and market stalls often write prices in thousands with a "k", so 50k means 50,000 dong. Several polymer notes have similar colors, so check the number of zeros on each note before you hand it over.
Pricing and cash rules
Vietnam's foreign exchange rules generally require goods and services sold in the country to be priced and paid in dong, so card and cash payments are made in dong even where a hotel quotes in dollars. Travelers must declare foreign cash above US$5,000, or dong above 15 million, when entering or leaving through an international border gate.
Quick mental estimate
Multiply USD by 26,000 for a rough VND figure: 20 USD → about 520,000 VND. That factor is 1.9% above the saved rate.
Rates move every day, so recheck the rate line before you rely on a shortcut.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the official dong rate published?
The State Bank of Vietnam publishes a daily central rate for the dong against the US dollar, and commercial banks may trade within a set range around it. Each bank then posts its own buying and selling rates for cash and transfers.
Will my US bank exchange dong?
Dong cash is hard to exchange outside Vietnam, and many US banks neither stock nor buy it. Change only what you expect to spend, and convert leftovers before you fly home.
How should I read a long dong amount?
Group the digits in threes from the right: 1,250,000 dong is one million two hundred fifty thousand. Many people drop the last three zeros when speaking or writing quickly, which is where the "k" shorthand comes from.
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.
