The formula
How to convert USD to CNY
Converting USD into CNY takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 11 August 2026 that rate is 6.7461, so:
CNY = USD × 6.7461
Going the other way, divide instead of multiply — or multiply by 0.148235, which is the same thing: one Chinese Yuan buys 0.148235 US 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 US Dollar and the Chinese Yuan
The US Dollar (USD, symbol $) is the currency of the United States. The Chinese Yuan (CNY, symbol ¥) is the currency of China.
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 USD to CNY examples
A price tag. Something marked $50 comes to 337.3 CNY. Round to 337 CNY for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. $3,000 a month is 20238.18 CNY — 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 US Dollars, that is 148.23 USD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your $500 would fetch roughly 3271.84 CNY instead of 3373.03 CNY. 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.
