Convert USD to TRY — Live Exchange Rate

How to convert USD to TRY

To convert USD to TRY, multiply the amount in US dollars by the exchange rate. To go from TRY back to USD, divide by the same rate.

At today's rate, 500 USD × 49.5270 = 24,763.50 TRY. In the other direction, 1 TRY is worth about 0.0202 USD.

If a bank or transfer service applies a 2% margin, the same 500 USD would get you about 24,268.23 TRY — 495.27 TRY less than the mid-market figure. That is why the rate you are quoted is worth checking against the one on this page.

About converting US Dollar to Turkish Lira

The US dollar to Turkish lira rate has seen dramatic long-term moves as the lira weakened, making it a focus for travellers to Turkey, importers, and anyone holding lira savings. Rates can shift quickly, so recent figures matter more than usual here.

The figures here use the mid-market rate — the rate banks use between themselves. When you actually exchange US Dollar for Turkish Lira, your provider adds a margin and may charge a fee, so the amount you receive is usually slightly below the headline rate. Comparing the all-in cost across providers, rather than the advertised rate alone, is the simplest way to keep more of your money.

Method & sources

Rates come from the Frankfurter API, which republishes the euro foreign-exchange reference rates set by the European Central Bank once per working day (around 16:00 CET). Our server caches them for up to one hour, and cross rates such as USD to INR are derived from the two euro rates. No rates are published at weekends or on ECB holidays, so the latest working-day rate is shown.

These are mid-market reference rates. Banks, card networks, transfer services and airport kiosks add a spread or fee on top — commonly 1–3% for cards and more for cash — so the amount you actually receive will usually be lower than the figure shown here.
