Currency Converter to PKR for Overseas Pakistanis
If you are planning a property investment in Punjab from abroad, start with the numbers in your own currency. This converter helps overseas Pakistanis turn US dollars, UAE dirhams, British pounds, euros and Saudi riyals into Pakistani rupees (PKR) — enter the amount, pick the currency, and set the current exchange rate to see exactly what your money is worth for your property budget.
Currency converter to Pakistani Rupee
Type the amount you plan to send or invest, choose the currency, and enter today’s exchange rate (PKR per unit of that currency). The converter multiplies the amount by your rate to give the PKR value.
Exchange rates move daily — this converter uses the rate you enter, not a live market feed, so always check your bank or forex dealer for today’s rate before you commit. This is a planning tool, not financial advice.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the interbank and open-market rate?
The interbank rate is the wholesale rate at which banks trade currency with each other; the open-market rate is what licensed exchange companies offer retail customers. The two usually differ by a rupee or two. For property payments, always use the rate your own bank or exchange dealer actually offers you — not the interbank figure quoted in headlines.
Why is the exchange rate field editable?
Rates move every day, so no static page can stay accurate. Keeping the rate editable means the conversion is based on the rate you can actually get from your bank or forex dealer today — just ask for their current rate and type it in.
What are the best ways for overseas Pakistanis to send money for property?
Use formal banking channels — a bank-to-bank wire, a licensed exchange company, or Roshan Digital Account remittance channels. Keep every receipt and foreign telegraphic transfer (FTT) advice, as you will need proof of funds when documenting a property purchase. Avoid informal hundi/hawala transfers: they are illegal and leave you with no paper trail.
