How to use this currency converter yuan to USD
Exchange-rate data comes from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP). The time beside each quote belongs to that quote, not the last page refresh. Rates may update at different times, especially outside a currency's active trading hours, so read the timestamp before relying on a figure.
How to convert yuan to dollars
CNY amount × CNY/USD rate = USD amount
US dollars = Chinese yuan × the CNY/USD rate. To convert dollars back to yuan, divide by that same rate. If you are given the USD/CNY rate instead, the number of yuan per dollar, use its reciprocal. Enter yuan, not fen: 1 yuan and 50 fen is entered as 1.50. Display rounding does not change the unrounded rate used for the calculation.
Illustrative example, not a current quote: if 1 Chinese yuan equals 0.14 US dollars, 100 yuan equal 14 dollars and 10,000 yuan equal 1,400 dollars. In reverse, 14 dollars ÷ 0.14 equals 100 yuan. The fields above use the available FMP observation instead of this example rate.

The page opens on CNY to USD. Choose another card to change the target currency. Offshore CNH is not offered.
Yuan, RMB, CNY and CNH
RMB is the name of the currency, yuan is the main unit, and CNY is the ISO code for onshore Chinese yuan. This currency converter yuan to USD uses CNY, not CNH, the offshore yuan traded outside mainland China. CNY and CNH can differ. A plain ¥ sign can also mean Japanese yen, so confirm the code says CNY before you convert.
Beijing time for each quote
Quote timestamps use Asia/Shanghai, which is China Standard Time and does not observe daylight saving. The time is the FMP observation time, not the moment you opened the page. Intraday history has no confirmed source timezone, so its times stay labelled provider time. Daily history keeps its original observation date.
Yuan to USD conversion questions
How much is 1 yuan in US dollars today?
Look at the CNY to USD reference rate at the top of the page. It shows how many US dollars one Chinese yuan converts to, next to the time of the observation. Enter 1 in the yuan field to see the same figure as an amount. The rate moves, so read the timestamp rather than treating the number as fixed.
How do I convert yuan to USD?
Multiply the number of Chinese yuan by the CNY/USD rate shown above the converter. Type the yuan in the first field and the dollars appear in the second. To work backwards from a dollar budget, edit the USD field and the yuan field updates with the same rate.
Is the yuan the same as the RMB?
RMB names the currency of China. Yuan is its main unit, and CNY is the code used here. CNH is the offshore yuan and is a different quoted market. This page converts onshore CNY only.
Why is the rate at my bank different from this converter?
This page shows a mid-market reference rate, the midpoint between buy and sell prices, with no fee added. Banks and transfer services usually quote a worse rate and may add a spread or a fee. Compare the final amount you would receive, not only the headline rate. Nothing here is a transaction quote or financial advice.
How often is the yuan to USD rate updated?
The page checks for a newer observation every 30 seconds while the tab is visible, but a check does not guarantee a new market rate. Each figure carries the timestamp of the FMP observation it came from, shown in Beijing time. Older or missing observations are labelled.
