Source: State Bank of Pakistan, exchange rates for mark-to-market revaluation (ready), 11/11/2026.
Official reference rates for comparison and calculations. Banks, exchange offices and brokers apply their own buying and selling rates and fees. The table refreshes automatically when the source publishes new rates.
US dollar rate: where to find it
The card above shows the official USD to PKR rate from State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This is SBP's exchange rate for mark-to-market revaluation (the "ready" rate, rupees per dollar), shown with the SBP date and a link to the SBP page. SBP issues these rates every working day for authorised dealers to revalue their books, and the US dollar rate is a weighted average of closing interbank rates collected through brokerage houses. The card also shows SBP's weighted average customer exchange rate for the US dollar, bid and offer, SBP rates in rupees for other major currencies, and a converter that includes PKR. It refreshes by itself when SBP publishes. On weekends and public holidays no new official rate is published, so the last date stays until the next working day.
A reference rate is a benchmark. It tells you where the official market stood on that date. It is not a price that any bank or exchange company is required to give you.

USD converter
ECB reference rate of 2026-11-11. Banks and brokers apply their own rates and fees.
This converter works on European Central Bank (ECB) euro reference rates, between the currencies in the ECB list. It does not include the Pakistani rupee. For amounts in rupees, use the converter in the rates card above, which includes PKR and uses SBP rates. Use this for planning, comparing quotes or checking an invoice. For a real transfer or cash exchange, the provider's own rate applies.
Trend line
The trend line in the rates card shows how the US dollar, euro, British pound, Saudi riyal, UAE dirham or Chinese yuan has changed against the rupee over the last 30 days. It uses SBP data. Each point is the rate for one SBP date. Days without a published rate, such as weekends, have no point of their own.
Use the line to see the direction and size of past moves. A past trend says nothing certain about the next move.
Why bank and exchange-company rates differ
The dollar rate in Pakistan you see at a bank counter, an exchange company or in a remittance app is usually different from the official reference rate:
- Buy and sell rates. Providers quote a buying rate and a selling rate. The difference between them, called the spread, is part of their income.
- Cash versus transfer. Cash dollars often carry a different rate from account transfers, because handling and storing notes costs money.
- Timing. The reference rate is fixed for a date. Providers update their quotes during the day as the market moves.
- Fees. Some providers add a fixed fee or commission on top of the rate. Compare the total rupee amount you receive or pay, not only the quoted rate.
The open-market rate, used by exchange companies, can also sit apart from the interbank rate that banks use between themselves.
What moves the US dollar
Federal Reserve policy
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) is the central bank of the United States. When it raises interest rates, or markets expect it to, dollar assets usually pay more and demand for the dollar often rises. When it cuts rates, the opposite pressure can appear. Fed statements, US inflation data and US jobs reports are watched closely for this reason.
US trade and capital flows
The dollar is the main currency for world trade, oil pricing and central bank reserves. Global investors move into dollar assets, such as US government bonds, when they want safety, and move out when they look for higher returns elsewhere. These capital flows can move the dollar more than the US trade balance itself.
Pakistan's side of the rate
The PKR side matters as much as the USD side. Interest rates set by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) affect demand for rupee assets. The latest decision on record: SBP policy rate raised by 50 bps to 12% with effect from 27.10.2026 (MPC). Pakistan's import bill, much of it priced in dollars, the level of foreign exchange reserves and inflows from abroad all affect the rupee. See SBP rates and economy for more.
How the dollar links Pakistan and the United States
- Trade. Pakistan exports goods such as textiles to the United States, and many imports from all countries are invoiced in dollars.
- Remittances. Pakistanis working in the United States send money home in dollars. Salaries in several Gulf states are also tied to the dollar through pegged currencies.
- Students. Families paying tuition and living costs for students in the United States need dollars, so the rate directly affects their budget.
- Travel. Visa fees, air tickets and travel spending are often priced in or linked to the dollar.
Trading USD/PKR or dollar pairs
Some people look at the dollar as a trading instrument through forex or CFD products. These are leveraged, and leverage can lose money fast, including more than you expected. Pakistani regulators have also issued warnings about offshore forex platforms: per the SECP, offshore forex/CFD platforms operate without regulatory approval in Pakistan. Read Law and regulators and Risk management before going further.

Frequent questions
Where can I find the official USD exchange rate?
State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) publishes the official PKR rate, and the card at the top of this page links to it. The card shows SBP's US dollar rate in rupees with its date, plus the weighted average bid and offer. Your bank's rate may differ.
Why does the date not change on Saturday or Sunday?
No official rate is published on weekends and holidays. The page shows the last published date until a new rate is out.
Can I get the official rate at my bank?
Not necessarily. Banks and exchange companies set their own buy and sell rates and may add fees.
Does the converter work from rupees to dollars too?
Yes, the converter in the rates card at the top includes PKR and uses SBP rates. The separate converter lower down covers only the ECB currencies and does not include rupees. For a real transfer or cash exchange, the provider's own rate and fees apply.
Does the trend line predict where the dollar will go?
No. It shows past SBP rates only. Future moves depend on events nobody can know in advance.
