The formula
How to convert BRL to CNY
The maths behind a BRL to CNY conversion is one multiplication, no rounding tricks. On 12 September 2026 that rate is 1.3127, so:
CNY = BRL × 1.3127
The inverse holds too: 0.761793 Brazilian Reais per Chinese Yuan. Divide where you multiplied before.
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 Brazilian Real and the Chinese Yuan
The Brazilian Real (BRL, symbol R$) is the currency of Brazil. The Chinese Yuan (CNY, symbol ¥) is the currency of China.
The rate is set by continuous trading, which is why it rarely reads the same two days running. 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 BRL to CNY examples
A price tag. Something marked R$50 comes to 65.6346 CNY. Round to 66 CNY for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. R$3,000 a month is 3938.08 CNY — 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 Brazilian Reais, that is 761.79 BRL. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your R$500 would fetch roughly 636.66 CNY instead of 656.35 CNY. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 12 September 2026, 1.3127 Chinese Yuan buys what one Brazilian Real does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.
At today's rate, 100 Brazilian Reais come to 131.2693 CNY. The converter handles any amount, in either direction.
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.
