Convert dollars, dirhams, riyals, pounds and euros to Pakistani rupees at today's interbank rate, and see what a bank remittance or the open market would actually give you.

Version 1.0.0. Inputs: Amount, Currency, Convert, USD/PKR interbank, AED/PKR interbank, SAR/PKR interbank, GBP/PKR interbank, EUR/PKR interbank.

## Worked example (default inputs)

- Amount: 1000
- Currency: usd
- Convert: toPkr
- USD/PKR interbank: 277.3 PKR
- AED/PKR interbank: 76.5 PKR
- SAR/PKR interbank: 75 PKR
- GBP/PKR interbank: 381 PKR
- EUR/PKR interbank: 330 PKR

**$ 1,000 at interbank: Rs 277,300**

1 USD = Rs 277.3 interbank. A bank remittance typically credits about Rs 276,607; buying $ 1,000 in cash from an exchange company costs about Rs 279,518.

### What you get

- Interbank (277.3): Rs 277,300
- Bank remittance credit (≈ interbank − 0.25%): Rs 276,607 (Banks convert inbound remittances close to interbank; RDA and Sohni Dharti add incentives on top.)
- Open market cash (≈ interbank + 0.8%): Rs 279,518 (What an exchange company charges to sell you cash; their buying rate is lower.)

### Quick table

- $ 1: Rs 277
- $ 100: Rs 27,730
- $ 500: Rs 138,650
- $ 1,000: Rs 277,300
- $ 5,000: Rs 1,386,500

## How it is calculated

Rates come from the **data hub** (SBP interbank closing) and are injected on every page load; you can override them. Three numbers matter in Pakistan:

- **Interbank**, the rate banks trade at and the SBP publishes daily. The benchmark in news and this converter's default.
- **Bank remittance / TT**, what your bank credits for an inbound transfer; usually a fraction below interbank, sometimes above with government remittance incentives (Roshan Digital Account, Sohni Dharti points).
- **Open market**, exchange-company counter rates for cash. Selling rate to you is typically 0.5–1.5% above interbank; the gap widens when the rupee is under pressure.

The tool shows typical spreads (−0.25% for bank credits, +0.8% for open-market cash) so you can see the range, not just one number.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is the dollar rate in Pakistan today?**

The default in this converter is the latest SBP interbank closing rate from the Searchable data hub, with the date shown under the field. Open-market cash rates run roughly 0.5–1.5% higher.

**Which rate will I get for a remittance from Dubai or Saudi Arabia?**

Your bank converts at close to the interbank rate on the day it credits; some exchange houses lock the rate at sending time. Use the AED or SAR option here for the interbank figure and expect a small margin either way.

**Why is the open market rate higher than interbank?**

Cash carries handling cost, scarcity and demand from travellers and importers who cannot access interbank. When the gap exceeds ~1.5% SBP usually intervenes.

**Can I buy dollars from a bank?**

Yes, against a CNIC and a purpose (travel, education, medical, subscriptions) within SBP limits; exchange companies sell cash more readily but at the open-market rate.
