The formula
How to convert GBP to EUR
To convert British Pounds to Euros, multiply the amount by the current exchange rate. On 2 October 2026 that rate is 1.1711, so:
EUR = GBP × 1.1711
Backwards works identically — divide by 1.1711, or multiply by 0.853889. One Euro comes to 0.853889 British Pounds.
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 British Pound and the Euro
The British Pound (GBP, symbol £) is the currency of the United Kingdom. The Euro (EUR, symbol €) is the currency of the eurozone.
The two are quoted against each other constantly, so the rate moves throughout the trading day. The feed publishes mid-market figures, which is what financial reporting cites. Actual exchange costs a margin on top.
Worked GBP to EUR examples
A price tag. Something marked £50 comes to 58.5556 EUR. Round to 59 EUR for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. £3,000 a month is 3513.34 EUR — 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 British Pounds, that is 853.89 GBP. 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 567.99 EUR instead of 585.56 EUR. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
One British Pound is worth 1.1711 Euros as of 2 October 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.
