AED to PKR Today: UAE Dirham to Pakistani Rupee Rate

Pakistanis living and working in the United Arab Emirates who send money home, and the families who receive it usually want one number: how many rupees a dirham buys today. The converter above gives the mid-market reference rate for the UAE Dirham against the Pakistani rupee and works in both directions. It is a benchmark, not an offer. What a bank, an exchange company or a money-transfer service pays out will differ, and the next sections explain why.

How the AED to PKR rate is built

The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at AED 3.6725 per dollar, so the dirham-rupee rate moves only when the dollar-rupee rate moves. The rate on this page is derived from the US dollar. The dollar-rupee rate is the base, and the dirham's value per dollar converts it. Our dollar rate page shows the interbank and open-market dollar quotes in Pakistan separately.

Reference rate versus the rate you actually get

Three rates exist for any currency pair at once:

• Mid-market rate: the midpoint between what buyers will pay and sellers will accept. This is what the page shows.
• Interbank rate: the rate at which banks trade with each other. In Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan publishes interbank dollar rates on its website.
• Retail rate: what a counter or app quotes you. It sits on one side of the mid-market rate, and any fee or commission sits on top.

The difference between the retail and mid-market rates is the provider's margin. Comparing the final rupee amount a provider will deliver, after all fees, is the only like-for-like check.

Common amounts

The table beside the converter lists the rupee value of round AED amounts. For other amounts, type the figure into the converter and use the swap button to convert rupees back into uae dirhams.
