Iran Exchange Rates: Dollar, Euro and Pound in Tomans
Updated 3 November 2026 (12 Aban 1405). Prices refresh every week. US dollar figures use the Tehran free-market rate of 275,000 tomans to the dollar. One toman is ten rials; here’s why Iranians use both.
Iran has an official exchange rate and a free-market rate, and the gap between them is wide. Most everyday prices in Tehran, from cars to rents, track the free-market rate shown here, which is what money changers (sarrafi) charge in cash.

About these prices
These are free-market cash rates quoted by Tehran exchange offices, collected once a week. The buy price is what an exchange office pays you for the currency; the sell price is what you pay for it.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the free-market rate different from the official rate?
Iran runs several exchange rates. The official and exchange-centre rates are used for approved imports and government transactions; the free-market rate is set by supply and demand among exchange offices and is the one most people actually pay.
Can I use foreign bank cards in Iran?
No. Because of sanctions, foreign debit and credit cards do not work in Iran, so visitors bring cash and change it at licensed exchange offices.
