The formula
How to convert HKD to AUD
Converting HKD into AUD takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 18 August 2026 that rate is 0.179161, so:
AUD = HKD × 0.179161
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 5.5816, which amounts to the same thing: one Australian Dollar buys 5.5816 Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong Dollar and the Australian Dollar
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD, symbol HK$) is the currency of Hong Kong. The Australian Dollar (AUD, symbol A$) is the currency of Australia.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. Everything on this page is a mid-market rate. Retail providers quote a spread around it and keep the difference.
Worked HKD to AUD examples
A price tag. Something marked HK$50 comes to 8.958 AUD. Round to 9 AUD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. HK$3,000 a month is 537.48 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 Hong Kong Dollars, that is 5581.58 HKD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your HK$500 would fetch roughly 86.893 AUD instead of 89.5804 AUD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
One Hong Kong Dollar is worth 0.179161 Australian Dollars as of 18 August 2026. The rate comes from the daily reference feed and refreshes automatically every morning.
That works out at 17.916074 AUD for 100 HKD. Type a different figure into the converter to see it change as you go.
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.
