What a currency converter for Pakistan is showing
People in Pakistan check the dollar, the dirham, the riyal and the pound because salaries, remittances, tuition and travel are often priced in those currencies and spent in PKR. This page converts an amount from one supported currency into another using a mid-market reference rate. The rate is fetched on the server. The time it was updated is printed with the common pairs below, and again when you press Convert.
A mid-market rate sits between a typical buying price and a typical selling price. It is a reference, useful for comparison. It is not a promise that a bank, a card network or a money changer will deal at that number.
AED to PKR and SAR to PKR
Dirham and riyal transfers matter for families with work in the UAE or Saudi Arabia. The pair list on this page, when the feed is available, shows one US dollar, one UAE dirham, one Saudi riyal and one British pound in PKR, using the same feed as the converter. GBP is included because UK fees and family transfers are a regular check alongside the Gulf currencies. If the list says the feed is unavailable, do not invent a rate. Press Convert later, or check a source you trust.
The State Bank of Pakistan publishes its own ready and cash rates for authorised dealers. Those SBP rates are not what this page downloads. Use the SBP site when you need the official reference, and use this page when you want a quick mid-market comparison with a visible timestamp.
Mid-market rates versus bank and open-market rates
A bank’s telegraphic transfer rate, a card’s foreign-spend rate, and an open-market (kerb) rate in a sarafa bazaar are different products. The bank builds in a spread and sometimes a flat fee. The card network may convert on a later day. The open market moves with cash demand that afternoon. The mid-market figure ignores those spreads, which is why it often looks a little better than the rate you are offered.
When you compare, line up the same pair and the same direction. “Bank buys dollars” is not the same quote as “bank sells dollars”. Write down the timestamp on this page and the timestamp on the other quote. A rate from yesterday morning is not wrong; it is old.
Why the rate you see is different, and how often it updates
Rates differ because each provider adds its own margin, because markets move during the day, and because some quotes are for cash while others are for a transfer that settles later. A 1 percent gap on a large remittance is real money. Treat the gap as the cost of that channel, not as a mistake in the arithmetic.
Batooli asks the rate provider from the server and keeps the answer in a short cache so the page stays fast and so a brief outage does not wipe the last good rates. Each result says whether you are seeing a fresh fetch or a cached one, and it shows the update time in UTC. If the live feed fails and a recent cache exists, the page says it is using that cache. If nothing is cached, it refuses to guess.
Limitations
This converter is not a bank, not a money changer, and not the State Bank. It does not include transfer fees, cash-handling charges, or the rate your card will post tomorrow. Do not use it as the rate on a contract unless the other party has agreed to a mid-market reference. For a payment that must be exact, take the quote from the institution that will move the money.
Common pairs against the Pakistani rupee
Rates last updated: 2026-11-02 00:02 UTC. Exchange rates updated at 2026-11-02 00:02 UTC.
- US dollar (USD): 1 USD = 276.7335 PKR (mid-market)
- UAE dirham (AED): 1 AED = 75.352881 PKR (mid-market)
- Saudi riyal (SAR): 1 SAR = 73.795588 PKR (mid-market)
- British pound (GBP): 1 GBP = 370.5064 PKR (mid-market)
These figures are the same mid-market feed the converter uses. A bank, card or open-market dealer in Pakistan will usually quote a different buying or selling rate.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the open-market dollar rate?
No. It is a mid-market reference. Open-market dealers and banks quote their own buying and selling rates, usually with a spread around a reference like this one.
Why is the bank rate worse than the rate on this page?
The bank is selling you a service and keeps a margin. Card fees and transfer charges sit on top of that. The mid-market rate has no margin in it.
How often do these rates update?
The server refreshes them on a short cache, and every result prints the update time in UTC. A cached line means you are seeing the last successful fetch, not a made-up rate.
Which Pakistan pairs are listed under the converter?
When the feed responds, the page lists the US dollar, UAE dirham, Saudi riyal and British pound against PKR. You can convert the other supported currencies from the form.
What happens if the rate feed is down?
A recent cached rate is used and labelled as cached. If there is no cache, the converter stops and asks you to try later. It does not fill in a placeholder rate.
Can I use this rate on an invoice to a client abroad?
Only if you and the client agree to that reference and you note the timestamp. Otherwise use the rate the contract or the receiving bank specifies.
