The formula
How to convert HKD to AUD
Converting HKD into AUD takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 11 August 2026 that rate is 0.180579, so:
AUD = HKD × 0.180579
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 5.5377, which is the same thing: one Australian Dollar buys 5.5377 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.
Rates between these two shift with interest-rate decisions, trade figures and general market mood. The figures here are mid-market reference rates pulled from a public daily feed; they are the rate you will see quoted in the news, not the rate a retail exchange will hand you over the counter.
Worked HKD to AUD examples
A price tag. Something marked HK$50 comes to 9.029 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 541.74 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 5537.74 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 87.5808 AUD instead of 90.2895 AUD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.

No. This is the mid-market reference rate — the midpoint between what buyers and sellers are quoting. Banks, card issuers and exchange bureaus add a margin on top, so expect to receive somewhat less than the figure shown here. Use it as a benchmark to judge whether an offer is fair.
