MXN → USD made simple, fast, and friendly

Headed to Mexico or sending money? Prices jump. Your cash should not. Let’s make the rate easy so you don’t guess at the register.

Quick answer you can use right now

Today (October 20, 2025): 1 Mexican peso (MXN) ≈ $0.054 USD. That means 1 US dollar (USD) ≈ 18.39 MXN. Rates move all day, so treat this as a close guide, not a promise.

What does that mean in plain words?

Think of each peso like a nickel. A little more than 5 cents. So 100 MXN is a bit more than 5 dollars. Easy, right?

Numbers are rounded to help you move fast.

Quick trick to remember

Peso → Dollar: move the decimal two left, then add a tiny bit. (100 MXN ≈ $5.44)
Dollar → Peso: multiply by about 18.4. ($10 ≈ 184 MXN)

Why does the rate change?

Banks trade money all day. News, oil prices, and interest rates can nudge the peso up or down. That’s normal.

How to keep more of your money

• Use a no-fee card when you can.
• Say “charge me in pesos,” not dollars, at stores.
• Compare rates before you swap cash.
