About the USD/JPY pair
The US Dollar/Japanese Yen cross expresses how many units of JPY one unit of USD buys at the interbank mid-market. Real-world rates from your bank, broker, or exchange office add a markup (usually 0.5%–4%) on top of this mid-market figure. For trading, the rate is one of two prices a broker quotes (bid/ask); the difference is called the spread.
How this converter works
We compute the cross-rate from two USD-base feeds (open.er-api.com primary, Frankfurter / ECB fallback). Both refresh hourly. Type any amount on either input — the other updates instantly. Use the Swap button to flip your input/output without changing the canonical pair direction (the URL stays the same so you don't get redirected).
Dual-direction conversion (no separate page needed)
Quick-amount tables: 1, 5, 10, 100, 1000

FAQ — answered for this pair
USD to JPY — common questions traders and travellers ask about this conversion.
1 USD equals 158.3779 JPY at the live mid-market rate, refreshed hourly. Bank and exchange-house rates will differ slightly because they add a markup (commonly 0.5–4%) on top of mid-market.
Free-floating exchange rates move continuously based on supply and demand — interest-rate differentials between the two central banks, capital flows, trade balances, and risk sentiment are the four largest drivers. For pairs with a USD-pegged currency, the rate moves only when the OTHER side of the pair moves against the dollar.
Compare three options: (1) your bank wire transfer (worst rate, but safest); (2) a digital remittance app like Wise, Remitly, or Western Union (typically 0.4–2% margin over mid-market); (3) a forex broker if you're trading the pair directionally. Always check the EFFECTIVE rate including all fees, not just the headline.
Most regulated brokers (XM, HFM, Pepperstone, FXTM) offer this pair as a CFD with leverage. Check our Licensed Brokers list for a regulator-by-regulator comparison. CFD trading involves substantial risk; 70–85% of retail accounts lose money according to ESMA-regulated broker disclosures.
