How much is 1 USD in Haitian Gourdes?
The official U.S. Dollar to Haitian Gourde exchange rate is determined by Haiti’s Central Bank (Bank of the Republic of Haiti – BRH). However, the real-world exchange rate can differ significantly when using the informal market or other third-party financial institutions.
Haitian Gourde to Haitian Dollar Conversion
To clarify, the Haitian Dollar is not an official currency. It is an informal unit of measure commonly used in Haiti, created by simply dividing the number of Haitian gourdes by a factor of 5.
Haitian Currency Conversion Explained
For example, assume that 1 USD = 130 Haitian gourdes at the official exchange rate.
1. Convert to gourdes:
$1 USD → 130 HTG
2. Convert gourdes to Haitian dollars:
130 ÷ 5 = 26
So, 26 would be considered “Haitian dollars.”
To convert back to Haitian gourdes, multiply by 5.
Again, the Haitian dollar is not an official, tangible currency or an actual exchange rate. The “Haitian dollar” is simply an informal pricing system widely used in marketplaces throughout Haiti. Many believe this practice dates back decades, when 1 USD was equal to 5 Haitian gourdes, giving rise to today’s informal “divide-by-five” method.
