Real market spread

The true cost of exchanging money

Everyone shows the mid-market rate. Almost nobody shows the spread — the real gap between buy and sell prices, and the markups that turn it into your cost. Here it is, live.

74 live markets · median spread 0.088% · tightest 0.000%.

Where your money goes

Interbank spread vs. what you are usually charged

The real market spread is tiny. The rest is markup added by whoever exchanges your money.

Directly-quoted pairs from the live feed. A tighter spread means a more liquid, cheaper-to-trade market.

What is a spread?

Every currency trades at two prices: a bid (what buyers pay) and an ask (what sellers want). The gap between them is the spread — the market's own built-in cost. The mid-market rate you see everywhere is just the midpoint. On liquid pairs the spread is a few hundredths of a percent; the 2–10% you feel at a bank or kiosk is markup added on top.
