The formula
How to convert JPY to EUR
There is only one number you need to convert JPY to EUR: the rate the market is quoting. On 1 October 2026 that rate is 0.00560982, so:
EUR = JPY × 0.00560982
To go from EUR back to JPY, divide by the same rate. Put another way, 178.26 Japanese Yen to the Euro.
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 Japanese Yen and the Euro
The Japanese Yen (JPY, symbol ¥) is the currency of Japan. The Euro (EUR, symbol €) is the currency of the eurozone.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. The feed publishes mid-market figures, which is what financial reporting cites. Actual exchange costs a margin on top.
Worked JPY to EUR examples
A price tag. Something marked ¥50 comes to 0.280491 EUR. Round to 0 EUR for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. ¥3,000 a month is 16.8295 EUR — 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 Japanese Yen, that is 178258.87 JPY. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your ¥500 would fetch roughly 2.7208 EUR instead of 2.8049 EUR. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
Today's reading is 0.00560982 EUR per Japanese Yen, recorded 1 October 2026. The daily feed updates it each morning without any action on your part.
At today's rate, 100 Japanese Yen come to 0.56098191 EUR. 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.
