The Formula Behind the Calculation
The mathematical logic for converting USD to INR is straightforward. It is a multiplication of the base currency by the exchange rate:
For example, if you have $500 and the current exchange rate is 83.50 INR per 1 USD, the calculation would be 500 × 83.50 = 41,750 INR.
Factors Affecting the USD to INR Rate
Several factors influence why you might see 82.00 one day and 84.00 the next:
- Crude Oil Prices: Since India imports a significant portion of its oil, rising oil prices often lead to a weaker Rupee.
- Interest Rates: If the US Federal Reserve raises interest rates, capital often flows back to the US, strengthening the Dollar against the Rupee.
- Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI): When foreign investors buy Indian stocks or bonds, the demand for Rupees increases, strengthening the currency.
- Trade Balance: The difference between India's exports and imports impacts the demand for foreign currency.

Pro Tip: Interbank Rate vs. Transfer Rate
When you see an exchange rate on Google or news sites, that is the "Interbank Rate." However, when you use a bank or a money transfer service, they usually add a "markup" or a hidden fee to that rate. Always use the rate your specific provider is offering in this calculator to see exactly how many Rupees will arrive in the bank account.
