Convert Danish krone (DKK) to US dollars (USD) at today's reference rate. Common amounts, 7-day and 30-day tables, and a 12-month trend chart.
These figures use the same daily reference rate shown above, so they move when the rate moves. They are a quick way to size an amount of Danish krone in US dollars without typing it into the converter; for any other figure, use the DKK to USD converter at the top of this page.

The inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R, so the same reference rate answers the reverse question.

DKK/USD pairs a major reserve currency (USD) with a less heavily traded one (DKK). That usually means the rate is calculated as a cross from the major's quote against the US dollar and the minor's quote against the US dollar. Spreads on consumer products tend to be wider than for purely major pairs, especially outside the home market of the smaller currency.
Danish Krone is associated with Europe and US Dollar with North America, so each currency typically reacts to a different set of releases. DKK/USD therefore tends to move when something specific happens in either home market: an interest-rate decision, an inflation print, a trade-balance number, or a political event that changes the perceived risk of holding that currency.
The number shown in the rate box is a daily reference rate: roughly the mid-market price at the time the public rate feed was published. It is a useful benchmark, but it is not the rate you would obtain at a bank, a card terminal, an ATM, or a money-transfer provider. Those providers add a margin to the mid-market rate (the "spread") and may charge a fixed or percentage fee on top. To estimate what a real transaction would actually cost, take the displayed reference rate and apply the provider's published spread and fee.
The 7-day and 30-day tables show one observation per day. They are useful for sanity-checking an unusual reading on the live rate against very recent values and for spotting any obvious trend over the last month. The 12-month chart on this page is built from monthly samples and is intended to show the general direction of DKK/USD over a year rather than every short-term swing. For an intraday view of the same pair, the embedded chart further up the page draws on a finer-grained data source.
Like any exchange rate, DKK/USD reflects the relative attractiveness of holding Danish Krone versus US Dollar. The most common drivers are:
Suppose the rate above is R. To convert an amount of Danish Krone, multiply by R: amount in USD = amount in DKK × R. To go the other direction, divide instead: amount in DKK = amount in USD ÷ R. The converter at the top of the page does this automatically and updates either input as you type. For an estimate of what a real bank or transfer service would deliver, subtract a typical retail spread (often a few tenths of a percent for major pairs and noticeably more for minor or exotic pairs) and any flat fee from the result.
If you arrived here looking for the inverse direction, the USD to DKK page shows the same data presented the other way around. The guide on how exchange rates are quoted explains why the inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R. To understand the gap between the figure on this page and what a bank actually offers, see the comparison of mid-market rates and consumer rates.
Other Danish krone pairs on this site include DKK to AUD, DKK to EUR, DKK to GBP and DKK to SEK. For what the three-letter codes themselves mean, see the ISO 4217 currency code list.
One Danish krone converts at the reference rate shown in the rate box above, which is refreshed once per business day. Because the krone is a relatively low-value unit against the dollar, single-krone figures are usually quoted to four decimal places — the common-amounts table above shows 1, 10, 100 and 1,000 DKK side by side so the scale is easier to read.
Denmark operates a fixed-exchange-rate policy against the euro through ERM II, keeping DKK within a narrow band around a central rate. That matters for DKK/USD because the pair effectively inherits much of the euro's movement against the dollar: when EUR/USD moves, DKK/USD tends to move with it rather than independently.
No. The figure on this page is a daily reference rate close to the mid-market level. Banks, bureaux de change, card networks and transfer services add a spread and often a fee, so the rate you transact at will be less favourable. The mid-market vs bank rates guide explains how to estimate the gap as a percentage.
Divide rather than multiply: amount in DKK = amount in USD ÷ R, where R is the DKK/USD rate above. The second table in the common-amounts section does this for you, and the USD to DKK page presents the same data with the dollar as the base currency.
