How this rate is calculated
We use the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on business days. The ECB quotes every currency against the euro, so the British Pound to Euro rate is our own calculation: one euro rate divided by the other. On weekends and holidays the latest published rate applies.
Reference rate for information only. Banks and money changers add a spread and fees, so the rate you get will differ. Do not use for transactions.

GBP and EUR: what today's rate means
How much is 100 GBP in EUR today?
At the rate published on October 14, 2026, 1 British Pound is worth 1.185 EUR. So 10 GBP comes to 11.8504 EUR, 100 GBP to 118.50 EUR and 1,000 GBP to 1,185.04 EUR. The arithmetic never changes: multiply the GBP amount by 1.185.
The other way round, 1 Euro is worth 0.8439 GBP: the British Pound is the stronger currency in this pair, so a GBP amount always turns into a bigger number in EUR. To go from EUR to GBP, divide by 1.185 — or multiply by 0.8439, which is the same thing.
How the GBP to EUR reference rate is set
The 1.185 figure comes from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, published around 16:00 Frankfurt time on business days. The ECB quotes everything against the euro, so the GBP to EUR rate for October 14, 2026 is one euro rate divided by the other — our calculation, not a number the ECB publishes.
A reference rate is a snapshot of the market at one point in the day, built for comparison and accounting. No new rate is published on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, so the same 1.185 can sit here for three days in a row.
Why your bank will not give you 1.185 per GBP
Between the reference rate and the counter come the provider's spread, transfer or card fees and, depending on the country, taxes. With a 3% spread, 100 GBP would get you 114.95 EUR instead of 118.50 EUR — 3.5551 EUR of margin.
The gap scales with the amount: on the same 3% example, 1,000 GBP loses 35.5513 EUR on the way. Before you commit, ask for the final amount in EUR including every fee and compare it with 1.185: the distance between the two is the real cost.
What this GBP to EUR rate is not for
Do not use 1.185 to settle a transaction or to guess tomorrow's rate: it is one day's reference rate, not a dealing price and not a forecast. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
Glossary
Reference rate
A rate published by an authority or a data provider as a snapshot of the market at one point in the day. It is meant for comparison, accounting and information. It is not an offer: nobody has to trade at it.

Inverse rate
The same pair read the other way round: if one unit of the first currency buys X of the second, the inverse rate is 1 divided by X. It is the number you need when converting in the opposite direction.
Currency pair
The two currencies in a quote, in reading order. In USD/INR the dollar is the base currency and the rupee is the quote currency, so the number answers "how many rupees to one dollar".
Base and quote currency
The base currency is the one worth 1 unit; the quote currency is the one the price is expressed in. Swapping them flips the number, and that is the most common mistake in currency conversion.
Spread
The gap between the price at which a provider sells a currency and the price at which it buys. It is the provider margin, and it accounts for most of the distance between a reference rate and what you actually pay.
FX business day
A day on which the reference market is open. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays there is no new rate: the last published one stands, and that is the one shown here.
Mid-market rate
The midpoint between the buying and the selling price at a given moment. Reference rates sit close to it, which is why they look better than any rate you are actually offered.
Bid and ask
The bid is the price at which a provider buys a currency from you; the ask is the price at which it sells to you. Travellers always pay the ask.
