About the British Pound (GBP)
Symbol £, used in the United Kingdom, plus the Crown Dependencies and several British Overseas Territories. Shown with two decimal places.
- Prices in shops include VAT, so the shelf price is what you pay.
- Contactless card payment is the norm, including on public transport in many cities.
- Restaurants may add an optional service charge to the bill; check before tipping twice.
About the US Dollar (USD)
Symbol $, used in the United States, and widely used alongside local money in places such as Ecuador, El Salvador and Panama. Shown with two decimal places.
- The most traded currency in the world, and the usual pricing currency for flights, software and online services.
- Sales tax in the US is usually added at the till rather than shown on the shelf price, so a price tag is rarely the final total.
- Tipping is customary in restaurants, bars and taxis, so a percent key comes in handy.
Getting a fair GBP to USD rate
The rate on this page is the mid-market rate. When you pay by card or change cash, compare what you are offered against it: the gap is the real cost of the exchange. If a card terminal abroad offers to charge you in your home currency, it is usually better to pay in the local currency. Our guides on the mid-market rate and dynamic currency conversion explain why.
