The formula
How to convert EUR to GBP
There is only one number you need to convert EUR to GBP: the rate the market is quoting. On 18 August 2026 that rate is 0.854937, so:
GBP = EUR × 0.854937
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 1.1697, which amounts to the same thing: one British Pound buys 1.1697 Euros.
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 Euro and the British Pound
The Euro (EUR, symbol €) is the currency of the eurozone. The British Pound (GBP, symbol £) is the currency of the United Kingdom.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. The feed publishes mid-market figures, which is what financial reporting cites. Actual exchange costs a margin on top.
Worked EUR to GBP examples
A price tag. Something marked €50 comes to 42.7468 GBP. Round to 43 GBP for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. €3,000 a month is 2564.81 GBP — 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 £1,000 and want to know what it buys in Euros, that is 1169.68 EUR. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your €500 would fetch roughly 414.64 GBP instead of 427.47 GBP. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
One Euro is worth 0.854937 British Pounds as of 18 August 2026. The rate comes from the daily reference feed and refreshes automatically every morning.

No. This is the mid-market reference rate — the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are quoting. Banks, card issuers and bureaus add a margin, so expect somewhat less than shown. Use it as a benchmark to judge whether an offer is fair.
