How USD to AED conversion works

Fixed Exchange Rate System

The UAE Dirham (AED) operates under a fixed exchange rate system, where the Central Bank of the UAE maintains a peg to the US Dollar at a rate of 3.6725 AED per 1 USD. This means that regardless of global market fluctuations, the official exchange rate remains constant.

Calculation Formula

The conversion from USD to AED is calculated using the following formula:

AED Amount = USD Amount × 3.6725

For example, to convert 100 USD to AED:

AED Amount = 100 × 3.6725 = 367.25 AED

Currency Peg Stability

The AED-USD peg has been maintained since 1997 and is backed by the UAE's substantial foreign exchange reserves. This provides stability for international trade and investment, as businesses can predict currency exchange rates with high confidence.

Practical Considerations

While the official exchange rate is fixed at 3.6725, consumers and businesses may receive slightly different rates depending on:

  • The financial institution or exchange service used
  • Transaction fees and commissions (see the Fees tab for details)
  • Whether you're buying or selling the currency (bid/ask spread)
  • The volume of the transaction (larger transactions may receive preferential rates)
