HUF to USD over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 HUF ranged from 0.00304 USD (2 Oct 2026) to 0.00320 USD (9 Sept 2026), averaging 0.00315. Today's 0.00304 is below that average by 3.37%.

For 1,000 HUF, that range is the difference between 3.04 and 3.20 USD: 0.16 USD, or 5.30% of the low. The biggest one-day move was +1.20% on 4 Sept 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 2.95 USD for 1,000 HUF today instead of 3.04, keeping 0.09 USD. This rate moved more than 3% within the month, so timing mattered as much as the margin.

Who converts HUF to USD, and why

Forint to dollars is used by visitors back from Budapest, Americans studying medicine or working in Hungary, and Hungarians buying from US stores or paying for travel.

• Changing leftover forint after a trip
• Converting tuition, rent or salary for students and workers in Hungary
• Checking a US online purchase from a Hungarian card

Tip: Forint prices run into the thousands: read Ft 4,990 as about five thousand forints, then use the converter. Outside Hungary, forint notes are hard to sell at a fair rate, so spend or exchange them before you leave.

About the two currencies

The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is issued by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank and used in Hungary, an EU member that has kept its own currency. The forint replaced the pengő in 1946 after the worst hyperinflation ever recorded. The fillér subunit is no longer used, and cash totals are rounded to the nearest 0 or 5 forints.

The United States Dollar (USD) is issued by the Federal Reserve and used in the United States and its territories, and also Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama (alongside the balboa), Timor-Leste, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau and several Caribbean territories. It is the world's main reserve and invoicing currency: oil, most commodities and a large share of world trade are priced in dollars, which is why so many cross rates are worked out through it.
