How to convert pounds to euros
Converting British pounds (GBP) to euros (EUR) is simple: multiply the pound amount by the GBP→EUR exchange rate. Because that rate moves constantly on the currency market, this converter lets you type in the live rate so your answer is always up to date for your holiday or transfer.
At a rate of £1 = €1.18, £100 converts to €118. To go the other way, divide: €118 ÷ 1.18 = £100. The rate moves daily, so set the rate box above to today's figure.

Why your holiday-money rate is different
The rate you see in the news is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between buying and selling prices. Bureaux de change, banks and apps add a margin (the "spread") and sometimes a fixed fee, so the rate you actually receive is a little worse. For spending in the eurozone, a fee-free travel card or specialist app usually beats airport kiosks.
Travel tip. Always pay in euros, not pounds, when a card machine abroad offers the choice — paying in pounds triggers "dynamic currency conversion" at a poor rate.
This tool is for quick, illustrative conversions. For an exact, executable rate, check your bank, a regulated money-transfer provider, or a live market source before sending money. Need the other direction? Use our euros to pounds converter.
