The formula
How to convert CAD to USD
Converting CAD into USD takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 21 September 2026 that rate is 0.714262, so:
USD = CAD × 0.714262
Reverse the direction and you divide rather than multiply. Equivalently, one US Dollar is worth 1.4 Canadian 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 Canadian Dollar and the US Dollar
The Canadian Dollar (CAD, symbol C$) is the currency of Canada. The US Dollar (USD, symbol $) is the currency of the United States.
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 CAD to USD examples
A price tag. Something marked C$50 comes to 35.7131 USD. Round to 36 USD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. C$3,000 a month is 2142.79 USD — 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 Canadian Dollars, that is 1400.05 CAD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your C$500 would fetch roughly 346.42 USD instead of 357.13 USD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 21 September 2026, 0.714262 US Dollars buys what one Canadian Dollar does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.
That works out at 71.426199 USD for 100 CAD. Type a different figure into the converter to see it change as you go.
Almost certainly not. What you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint of the market. Every retail provider takes a cut on top of it. The value of knowing the mid-market figure is being able to measure that cut.
