About the lira to dollar rate
Markets quote the pair as USD/TRY, the number of lira per dollar. The lira-to-dollar value on this page is simply its inverse, so when USD/TRY rises, one lira buys fewer dollars.
Turkey has a floating exchange rate set by supply and demand. The main drivers are the inflation gap with the US, the central bank’s policy rate, the current-account balance and foreign capital flows. At weekends global currency markets are closed, so the last closing price is shown.

Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 Turkish lira in US dollars?
At the latest update, 1 TRY buys about 0.0200 USD (1 USD = 50.0233 TRY on the Istanbul free market). The figures on this page refresh every second while markets are open.
How much is 1,000 lira in dollars?
About 19.99 US dollars at the current free-market sell rate. Exchange offices and banks apply their own spread, so the amount you actually receive is slightly lower.
Why is the lira so weak against the dollar?
Turkey’s inflation has been far higher than US inflation for years, so the lira loses purchasing power and its exchange rate falls over time. Interest-rate policy, the current-account deficit and foreign capital flows also drive the rate.
Should I exchange lira back to dollars before leaving Turkey?
Lira is hard to exchange outside Turkey and usually at a poor rate, so travellers often convert leftover lira before departure. City exchange offices (döviz bürosu) generally offer narrower spreads than airport desks.
Where does this rate come from?
It is the free-market USD/TRY rate formed in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar (Kapalıçarşı), inverted to show dollars per lira. The Central Bank (TCMB) publishes a separate indicative rate once a day at 15:30.
