I myself have personally encountered more than once that people do not know how to convert dollars into rubles, rubles into dollars, they make mistakes, they get confused, so I decided to write this article.
So, when might you need to convert dollars to rubles or rubles to dollars? Anytime! For example, when purchasing goods whose price is indicated in dollars, when receiving and paying foreign currency loans, when making foreign currency deposits, when borrowing and receiving private loans in dollars, when buying or selling currency, when calculating taxable income, even just when , if your financial assets are stored in both rubles and dollars.
How to convert dollars to rubles? This can be done in different ways, all of them will be correct, but the amounts received will differ, and the difference can even be several percent. It would seem like a paradox, but no. In the article I described several main types of exchange rates, all of which can be applied to converting dollars into rubles. Let's look at how to do this with examples.
Convert dollars into rubles and rubles into dollars at the official Central Bank exchange rate.
The most common way to convert dollars to rubles is to use the official exchange rate for these purposes. Central Bank Russian Federation. This rate is set daily, except weekends and holidays, and you can always find it on the official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, even on the main page: cbr.ru in the main indicators section financial market– exchange rates. Moreover, the dollar to ruble exchange rate is indicated there for two days at once, for example, today and tomorrow (the rate for the next day is set approximately at lunchtime of the previous one).
The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation shows how much 1 dollar costs in rubles (for example, on this screen, on 03/03/2017, 1 dollar costs 58.4067 rubles, and on 03/04/2017 – already 58.9099 rubles). To convert dollars to rubles at the Central Bank rate, just multiply the required amount in dollars by the specified rate.
Question: how much is 100 dollars in rubles today (03/03/2017)?
Answer: 100 dollars * 58.4067 rubles/dollar = 5840.67 rubles.
Now let's look at how to do the reverse calculation - convert rubles to dollars. To do this, you need to divide the available amount in rubles by the exchange rate - you get the amount in dollars.
Question: 10,000 rubles - how many dollars is it? (as of 03/03/2017)
Answer: 10,000 rubles / 58.4067 rubles/dollar = 171.27 dollars.
Using the website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, you can also calculate the transfer of dollars to rubles and back for any past date - for this you need to use the archive of rates. Click on the “exchange rates” link on the main page and go to the page cbr.ru/currency_base/ – a database of exchange rates. We select a suitable item there, for example, “official exchange rates for a given date, set daily”, select the desired date in the calendar, for example, July 1, 2014, and get all the foreign exchange rates established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation for this date.
We select in this list the dollar to ruble exchange rate, indicated by the code 840 and the USD symbol, and act on the same principle.
Answer: 100 dollars * 33.8434 rubles/dollar = 3384.34 rubles.
In general, everything is simple, but you should understand that the Central Bank rate is used primarily for calculations, and not for specific transactions. That is, an ordinary person, as a rule, cannot, for example, buy or sell dollars for rubles at the Central Bank exchange rate. For these operations, other courses are already used.
Convert dollars to rubles at the exchange rate.
Convert dollars to rubles at the commercial rate.
And finally, another way to convert dollars into rubles is to use the commercial rates we all know - the buying and selling rates of currencies at which banks operate. When setting these rates, banks, first of all, also focus on the exchange rate: as a rule, the purchase rate is set below the exchange rate, and the selling rate is higher than the exchange rate with a certain “margin”. The commercial exchange rate of the dollar depends on the foreign exchange policy of each specific bank and the conditions in which it currently finds itself (what is more important to it at a particular moment: buying or selling the dollar).
Commercial rates can be seen on the website of each bank or directly in its branches on exchange rate boards. Here, for example, are the current rates of VTB 24 Bank at the moment.
In this example, the dollar buy rate is 57.95 and the sell rate is 59.75. Please note: both of these rates differ from the official Central Bank rate and from the exchange rate, especially the selling rate. In addition, there is a dependence on the amount and method of exchange, and when exchanging small amounts, an additional commission is charged.
How to convert dollars to rubles at the commercial rate? If you want to sell dollars to a bank, you must use the purchase rate for calculations. If you want to buy dollars from a bank - the selling rate. In both cases, the calculation is made by multiplying the amount in currency by the exchange rate. Let's look at examples.
Question: I want to sell 1000 dollars, how many rubles will I receive?
Answer: 1000 dollars * 57.95 rubles/dollar = 57950 rubles.
Question: I want to buy 1000 dollars, how many rubles do I need to pay?
Answer: 1000 dollars * 59.75 rubles/dollar = 59,750 rubles.
Question: How many dollars do you need to donate to get 50,000 rubles?
Answer: 50,000 rubles / 57.95 rubles/dollar = 862.81 dollars ($863 rounded).
Question: I have 50,000 rubles, how many dollars can I buy with it?
Answer: 50,000 rubles / 59.75 rubles/dollar = 836.82 dollars ($836 rounded).
Other cases of converting dollars into rubles.

There are courses on instant money transfer systems, etc. There are courses that set prices in dollars.

How does the currency converter work?

Which world currencies can be calculated in the converter?
The main currencies that can be converted in this currency calculator: hryvnia, dollar, euro, Russian ruble.

The currency converter works as follows: when you enter an amount in any of the fields, money is automatically transferred to other currencies at the exchange rate of the selected national bank, without reloading the page or pressing additional buttons (the converter converts exchange rates online).
Additional options in the currency converter
A special feature of the online currency converter is the ability to take into account the conversion commission at exchange offices if you enter a plus sign in the “Commission” field.

It would be very difficult to imagine a world in which there would not be such a human invention as money. Acting as an intermediary in trade transactions, money helps to speed up and simplify trade turnover among the broad masses of people. Indeed, take away this invention, and humanity will be mired in barter exchange transactions.
From time immemorial?
Oddly enough, when using the money supply, modern man, like its earlier predecessors, faces similar questions and difficulties. For example: for a resident of Russia, when traveling abroad or when it is necessary to purchase goods of foreign origin, the question may arise: “How to convert dollars into rubles?”
A similar question could well have faced an ancient merchant who wanted to purchase goods of foreign origin for resale in his homeland. Only the objects that act as money supply would be different: shells, pieces of wood, leather, metal, paper, etc.
How does the interbank system work?
Let's try to answer the question already given: “How to convert dollars to rubles?” To do this, you first need to understand what these same dollars and rubles are.
Initially, when money did not yet exist, people had to engage in natural exchange. So, if a hunter who caught an animal while hunting wanted to exchange a clay pot from a ceramics master, he would have to cut off and bring part of the carcass with him for exchange. Moreover, if the potter did not need meat at the moment, then the exchange transaction might not take place. In turn, when exchanging clay pot, for example, an apple may have a problem with the value of goods. The fact is that it is impossible to cut off a part of the pot to complete the transaction.
To eliminate the need for barter transactions, a universal means of payment was invented - money. Thus, each product present on the market of a certain community received its specific price in one generally accepted commodity for exchange - money.
Having with you required quantity money, a person got the opportunity to make a purchase on the market of any product presented on the market.
How to convert dollars to rubles?
To successfully carry out an exchange operation, you should understand that both the dollar and the ruble are not something abstract. This is exactly the same product as any other. The price of money can depend on many factors, which are not necessary to know for exchange. You can use the rate already calculated by the national bank.
In order to change dollars into rubles, you need to know the current exchange rate of these currencies relative to each other. To get this information, you can simply go outside and visit several nearby exchange offices. You can also use the Internet and find out which exchange office provides the best rate in the city.
The information stand presented at exchange offices contains information about the price of one currency in another. Opposite the required currency, two numbers are indicated that characterize the purchase price and the sale price of the currency. The purchase price characterizes how much currency the exchange office is willing to pay for the specified currency. Selling price is how much a person must pay to purchase a currency.
How is the transfer made (rubles to dollars)
Example 1
The stand at the exchange office states:
A man has 1000 rubles and wants to exchange them for dollars. From the information provided at the stand, it is clear that the exchange office is ready to sell dollars at a price of 55 rubles per 1 dollar.
The number of dollars received is calculated by dividing the amount exchanged by the selling price.
Having made such a transfer - rubles to dollars - a person for 1000 rubles will receive:
1000/55 = $18.18.
Example 2
A person who owns dollars may have a question: “How to convert dollars to rubles?”
Let's return to the previously considered stand.
Let's assume that a person wants to exchange 500 dollars for rubles. From the information presented at the stand, we get: the exchange office is willing to pay 50 rubles for 1 dollar.
The number of rubles that can be received as a result of an exchange transaction is calculated by multiplying the amount exchanged by the purchase price.
For an exchange of $500, a person will receive from the exchange office:
500*50 = 25,000 rubles.
Some other sharing methods
We figured out how to convert dollars to rubles. Now it should be added that exchange transactions can be carried out not only in cash. With the widespread development of the Internet and the banking system, ordinary citizens have the opportunity to buy, sell and transfer currency electronically. To do this, you can use any electronic payment system. Or open your personal account on the global Forex currency market through a broker.
