How this converter works

Type any amount in USD and the page multiplies it by the live USD to CNY 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 USD/CNY rate

The People's Bank of China sets a daily reference rate and manages the yuan within a band, so policy signals matter more than pure market flows. 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.
