How it works
Enter today's rate yourself, as the number of lira for one dollar. Rates move, and the rate you apply is a business decision (the rate you pay suppliers, or the rate you display at the till). We do not show one, so a stale number on this page can never end up on your price tags.
Dollars to lira multiplies by the rate. Lira to dollars divides by it and shows two decimals.
For price tags and menus, round the lira price up to a step that is easy to pay in cash: 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000 lira. Rounding up means you never sell below your dollar price.
Worked example
The rate in this example is 100,000 lira for 1 dollar, a round number chosen to make the arithmetic easy to follow. It is not a real or current rate.
A sandwich at 4.35 USD is 4.35 times 100,000, so 435,000 LBP. Rounded up to the next 10,000, the price tag says 440,000 LBP. The other way, 250,000 LBP divided by 100,000 is 2.50 USD.
Questions and answers
Why does this converter not show the current rate?
Because a rate shown on a web page can be out of date by the time you read it, and the rate a business applies is its own choice. Enter the rate you actually use today; the result is only as right as that number.
Should I round lira prices up or to the nearest step?
Up, if your prices are set in dollars: rounding down loses a little on every sale. The tool always rounds up to the step you choose.
How should I show both currencies to customers?
Pick one currency your prices are set in, state the rate you use and the date you set it, and show the second currency next to it. Our guide to pricing in dollars and lira goes through it step by step.
Can I convert a whole price list?
One price at a time here. For a list, keep the rate in one cell of a spreadsheet and multiply every dollar price by that cell, so a new rate updates every line at once.
