Mastering Money in Bali: The Rupiah Guide

Traveling to Bali requires understanding the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Because the currency uses large denominations (thousands and millions), tourists often find themselves confused by the sheer number of zeros on price tags and banknotes. This calculator helps you quickly convert the rates you see at local money changers (“Authorized Money Changers”) or calculate the real cost of a dinner menu item in your home currency.

How to Read Bali Currency Rates

When you walk down the streets of Kuta, Seminyak, or Ubud, you will see boards listing exchange rates. These rates are almost always quoted as the amount of IDR you get for 1 unit of foreign currency.

Example: If the board says USD 15,500, it means for every $1 USD you hand over, you receive 15,500 Rupiah.

4 Critical Tips for Changing Money in Bali

• Look for the Green Shield: Only use Authorized Money Changers (PT. Central Kuta is highly reputable). Avoid small back-alley shops offering rates that seem “too good to be true.”
• Beware of Commission: Legitimate changers usually do not charge a commission. If a rate is exceptionally high, ask if there is a commission fee before handing over your money.
• Count Your Zeroes: The largest note is 100,000 IDR (red). It is easy to confuse the 10,000 IDR (purple) with the 100,000 IDR note if you aren’t paying attention. Always count your money last, after the teller has counted it, and do not let them touch it again.
• Pristine Bills Only: If you are bringing cash (USD, AUD, EUR) to exchange, ensure the bills are crisp, clean, and new (issue date 2013 or later for USD). Tellers will reject torn, folded, or old banknotes.

Common “Bali Math” Cheat Sheet

To make mental math easier, many travelers drop the last three zeros (the “thousands”) when looking at prices. In local slang, “50” usually means “50,000 IDR”.

• 1 Million IDR (1 Juta): Approx. $65 USD / $100 AUD
• 100,000 IDR (Red Note): Approx. $6.50 USD / $10 AUD (Good for a budget meal + drink)
• 50,000 IDR (Blue Note): Approx. $3.25 USD / $5 AUD (Cost of a Bintang beer)
• 10,000 IDR (Purple Note): Approx. $0.65 USD / $1 AUD (Small tip or parking fee)
