The formula
How to convert CAD to AUD
A CAD to AUD conversion is arithmetic, not guesswork — multiply and you are done. On 2 October 2026 that rate is 1.0106, so:
AUD = CAD × 1.0106
Backwards works identically — divide by 1.0106, or multiply by 0.989514. One Australian Dollar comes to 0.989514 Canadian Dollars.
The converter at the top of this page does both directions and updates as you type. Every result is recalculated on the server as well, so the number you see is the number that gets stored.
About the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar
The Canadian Dollar (CAD, symbol C$) is the currency of Canada. The Australian Dollar (AUD, symbol A$) is the currency of Australia.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. These are reference rates rather than dealing rates. Treat them as the benchmark you measure an offer against.
Worked CAD to AUD examples
A price tag. Something marked C$50 comes to 50.5298 AUD. Round to 51 AUD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. C$3,000 a month is 3031.79 AUD — useful when you are comparing a job offer across the two markets. Bear in mind the rate moves, so a figure agreed today will not be the figure paid out in six months.
Going the other way. If you are holding A$1,000 and want to know what it buys in Canadian Dollars, that is 989.51 CAD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your C$500 would fetch roughly 490.14 AUD instead of 505.3 AUD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
Today's reading is 1.0106 AUD per Canadian Dollar, recorded 2 October 2026. The daily feed updates it each morning without any action on your part.
That works out at 101.0597 AUD for 100 CAD. Type a different figure into the converter to see it change as you go.
No — treat it as the reference point, not the offer. Exchange desks quote a spread around the mid-market rate and keep the difference. Comparing their quote with the figure above tells you what the convenience is costing you.
