About this tool
The number people mean by "dollar rate today" in Pakistan is how many rupees one US dollar buys. This page shows the live mid-market USD to PKR rate, then converts any dollar amount you type. Mid-market is the midpoint between bank bid and offer, so a money changer, a bank counter or a card settlement will be worse than this figure by their spread. It is not the open-market kerb rate and not an SBP circular. Use it to sanity-check an invoice, a remittance or a travel budget.
How to use this tool
- Wait for the live rateThe headline is 1 USD in PKR from the currency feed, with a timestamp.
- Type a dollar amountThe rupee total updates as you type. Default is 1 dollar so the rate itself is obvious.
- Read the inverseUSD per rupee is shown for the rare case you are converting the other way by hand.
Interbank, open market and bank rates explained
In Pakistan you will see several dollar rates on the same day. The interbank rate is what banks trade at between themselves; the open-market rate is what exchange companies charge for cash. The rate on this page is the mid-market rate, halfway between buying and selling prices, which is the fairest benchmark but not a price anyone will give you exactly.
When you buy dollars, the rupee amount will be higher than the mid-market figure; when you sell, it will be lower. Card payments in dollars are converted at your bank’s rate plus its fee, so compare the total rupees charged rather than the headline rate.

Mistakes to avoid
