Official vs Blue Dollar Rates

The Central Bank of Argentina sets the official exchange rate, which is used for government transactions and large financial operations. The Blue Dollar rate, however, is determined by the parallel market and is influenced by supply and demand, economic conditions, and political factors.

The Blue Dollar rate is typically higher than the official rate, reflecting the additional costs and risks associated with the unofficial market. This difference can be significant, especially during periods of economic instability.

Note: Exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Always check the latest rates before making financial decisions.

Calculation Method

The conversion between USD and ARS is straightforward:

If converting from USD to ARS: Multiply the USD amount by the Blue Dollar rate.
If converting from ARS to USD: Divide the ARS amount by the Blue Dollar rate.

The formula used is:

Converted Amount = Amount × Exchange Rate

Where:

Amount = The value you want to convert
Exchange Rate = The current Blue Dollar rate

Worked Example

Let's say you want to convert 100 USD to ARS using a Blue Dollar rate of 1,200 ARS per USD.

Enter 100 in the Amount field.
Select USD as the currency.
Enter 1,200 in the Exchange Rate field.
Click Calculate.

The calculator will show:

100 × 1,200 = 120,000 ARS

So, 100 USD is equivalent to 120,000 ARS at the Blue Dollar rate of 1,200.
