The formula
How to convert AUD to USD
To convert Australian Dollars to US Dollars, multiply the amount by the current exchange rate. On 12 September 2026 that rate is 0.717269, so:
USD = AUD × 0.717269
Reverse the direction and you divide rather than multiply. Equivalently, one US Dollar is worth 1.3942 Australian Dollars.
The converter at the top of this page does both directions and updates as you type. Every result is recalculated on the server as well, so the number you see is the number that gets stored.
About the Australian Dollar and the US Dollar
The Australian Dollar (AUD, symbol A$) is the currency of Australia. The US Dollar (USD, symbol $) is the currency of the United States.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. The figures here are mid-market reference rates from a public daily feed: the rate quoted in the news, not the rate a retail exchange hands you over the counter.
Worked AUD to USD examples
A price tag. Something marked A$50 comes to 35.8634 USD. Round to 36 USD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. A$3,000 a month is 2151.81 USD — useful when you are comparing a job offer across the two markets. Bear in mind the rate moves, so a figure agreed today will not be the figure paid out in six months.
Going the other way. If you are holding $1,000 and want to know what it buys in Australian Dollars, that is 1394.18 AUD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your A$500 would fetch roughly 347.88 USD instead of 358.63 USD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 12 September 2026, 0.717269 US Dollars buys what one Australian Dollar does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.

Almost certainly not. What you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint of the market. Every retail provider takes a cut on top of it. The value of knowing the mid-market figure is being able to measure that cut.
