How the conversion works

The converter uses the official exchange rates published by the National Bank of Georgia (nbg.gov.ge). The NBG sets one official rate per currency each business day, expressed as how many lari one unit of that currency is worth. These are the rates used in accounting, tax returns and official documents in Georgia.

To convert between two currencies, the calculator goes through the lari. Converting dollars to lari multiplies the amount by the dollar's official rate. Converting euros to dollars first values the euros in lari and then divides by the dollar's rate, which is the cross rate. Next to the result you also see the inverse rate, so you know both how much one dollar costs in lari and how much one lari is worth in dollars.

Rates are refreshed from the NBG several times a day and the page shows the date they apply to. Banks and exchange offices set their own buying and selling rates around the official rate, so the amount you receive at a counter will be a little different.

Formula

Amount in B = Amount in A × (official rate of A ÷ official rate of B)

Official rates are lari per one unit of each currency; the rate of the lari itself is 1. The inverse rate is the same fraction turned upside down.

Example: converting dollars and euros

The numbers below use made-up round rates to show the method; the calculator above always uses today's official NBG rates. Assume 1 USD = 2.70 GEL and 1 EUR = 2.95 GEL.

  1. 100 USD to lari: 100 × 2.70 = 270 GEL.
  2. 500 GEL to dollars: 500 ÷ 2.70 ≈ 185.19 USD.
  3. 100 EUR to dollars goes through the lari: 100 × 2.95 = 295 GEL, then 295 ÷ 2.70 ≈ 109.26 USD.
  4. The EUR to USD cross rate is therefore 2.95 ÷ 2.70 ≈ 1.0926, and the inverse rate is about 0.9153 EUR per dollar.

Whatever the actual rates are on the day, the method is the same: every currency is first valued in lari, which is how the National Bank publishes its rates.

How to use the rate

  • Expect a spread at the bank. The official rate is a reference; banks and exchange offices buy below it and sell above it. Compare the rate you are offered with the official one to see what the exchange really costs.
  • Use the official rate for paperwork. Tax returns, accounting and many contracts in Georgia use the NBG rate for the relevant date, so it is the right figure for recording income or expenses in another currency.
  • Value your whole portfolio in one currency. If you hold savings in lari, dollars and euros, converting everything to a single currency is the only way to know your real total.
  • Think about currency risk before borrowing or saving. If your income and your big expenses are in different currencies, a change in the rate can matter more than the interest rate.
  • Check the rate date. The NBG publishes rates on business days; on weekends and holidays the last published rate stays in effect.

Frequently asked questions about exchange rates

From the official rates published by the National Bank of Georgia (nbg.gov.ge). The page shows the date the rates apply to and refreshes them several times a day.
Banks and exchange offices set their own buying and selling rates around the official rate to cover costs and earn a margin. The official NBG rate is the reference point; the difference is the cost of the exchange.
Through the lari. The euro amount is valued in lari at the euro's official rate and then divided by the dollar's official rate. That gives the same cross rate the National Bank's published rates imply.
Tax and accounting rules in Georgia generally refer to the official NBG rate on the relevant date. Check which date applies to your transaction with the Revenue Service (rs.ge) or your accountant.
It needs a connection to load the latest rates. On weekends and public holidays the NBG does not publish new rates, so the most recent official rate is used.
