Local Context

The Australian dollar is among the most traded currencies in the world and behaves like a commodity and risk-appetite currency: it tends to firm when metals prices and global growth expectations rise, and to soften in risk-off markets. Because Australia exports heavily to Asia, Chinese demand matters as much as domestic Australian data. Your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may apply a different rate and add its own margin.

How much is 1 USD in AUD?

The reference rate is republished every trading day, so the exact figure changes. At the example rate used on this page, 1 USD = 1.40 AUD, one US dollar is 1.40 Australian dollars and 100 USD is 140 AUD. Enter any amount above to see the rate the converter is using now.

Why is my bank's USD to AUD rate different?

Banks, card networks, and remittance providers add a spread or a fee and may fix their rate at a different moment of the day. Treat this converter as a reference estimate and compare the total cost of a transfer, not only the headline rate.

What moves the USD/AUD exchange rate?

The Australian dollar is a commodity-linked currency, so metals and energy prices, demand from Asian trading partners, and global risk appetite all feed into it. Against that sit the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate versus the US Federal Reserve's policy path, plus inflation and employment data from both economies.
