How to convert AUD to USD
The Australian dollar (AUD) and US dollar (USD) fluctuate against each other daily based on commodity prices, interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Federal Reserve, and trade data. The AUD is often called a commodity currency because Australia exports large volumes of iron ore, coal, and gold, so raw material prices heavily influence the exchange rate.
This converter applies a live or recently fetched rate calculated in your browser. Because the AUD/USD pair is one of the five most traded in global forex markets, rates are available around the clock and typically carry very tight spreads between buy and sell prices on most platforms.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the AUD/USD rate change so often?
The Australian dollar is sensitive to iron ore and coal prices, Reserve Bank of Australia rate decisions, and global risk appetite. When commodity prices rise, AUD typically strengthens. It also moves on Chinese economic data because China is Australia's largest export market.
What is a typical AUD to USD range historically?
The AUD/USD pair has traded between roughly 0.55 and 1.10 over the past two decades. The pair reached parity (1 AUD = 1 USD) briefly in 2011 during the commodity boom. A converter cannot predict future rates.
Will my bank use the same rate shown here?
Banks and money transfer services add a margin on top of the mid-market rate. This tool shows the mid-market or indicative rate. Actual transaction rates may be 1 to 3 percent different depending on your provider.
Is the conversion calculated on my device?
Yes. The arithmetic (amount x rate) runs in your browser via JavaScript. No data is sent to a server for the calculation itself, though the current rate may be fetched from an external source.
What is the ISO code for the Australian dollar?
AUD is the ISO 4217 code for the Australian dollar. It is also the official currency of several Pacific Island nations that peg to or use the Australian dollar.
