How this converter works

Type any amount in CAD and the page multiplies it by the live CAD to USD rate from the Frankfurter API, which mirrors the European Central Bank's daily reference rates. The rate is stored in your browser for 6 hours so repeat visits are instant, and the rate line shows exactly which figure was used.

What moves the CAD/USD rate

Oil prices and Bank of Canada decisions move the Canadian dollar; when crude rallies, the loonie usually gains on the US dollar. For everyday use, treat the figure here as the mid-market benchmark: banks and transfer apps will quote a slightly worse retail rate, and the gap between the two is their fee.
