SDR calculator
Work out what one IMF special drawing right (SDR) is worth from today's exchange rates, see how much of its value each of the five basket currencies makes up, and convert any amount of SDRs. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Enter today's rates; the starting figures are only an example. The basket amounts are the ones the IMF set in its 2022 review: 0.57813 US dollars, 0.37379 euros, 1.0993 renminbi, 13.452 yen and 0.08087 pounds. The IMF publishes the official daily rate.
What's in the basket
Special drawing rights, or SDRs, are an international reserve asset created by the International Monetary Fund in 1969. One SDR is made up of set amounts of five currencies: the US dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi (added in 2016), the Japanese yen and the British pound.
How its value is set
The value of one SDR is worked out daily from the exchange rates of those five currencies. Because the amounts are fixed, a currency that strengthens makes up a bigger share of the SDR's value. The IMF reviews the basket, usually every five years.
