The Hong Kong Dollar Linked Exchange Rate System

The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is linked to the United States Dollar (USD) through a unique peg system known as the Linked Exchange Rate System (LERS). Under this system, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) stabilizes the HKD exchange rate within a narrow band of 7.75 to 7.85 HKD per 1 USD. If the rate touches either extreme, the HKMA intervenes in forex markets by buying or selling HKD to maintain stability.

How to convert Hong Kong Dollars to US Dollars

To convert Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) to US Dollars (USD), divide the HKD amount by the current exchange rate. For example, if the rate is 7.80 HKD per dollar, converting 500 HKD is calculated as:

500 HKD ÷ 7.80 = $64.10 USD

To convert US Dollars back to Hong Kong Dollars, multiply the USD amount by the rate. For example, to convert $100 USD:

$100 USD × 7.80 = 780 HKD

Is the HKD to USD rate live?

Yes, this converter utilizes live reference rates from the European Central Bank (ECB) every business day. Because of the monetary peg, the rate will always stay within the official 7.75 - 7.85 band. Please keep in mind that bank conversions or physical exchanges usually apply small fees.
