Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) to USD — Ukraine Parallel Market Rate

By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates

This page shows how much the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) is worth in US dollars at Ukraine's parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate, updated through the day. It is the reverse of our USD to UAH page and reflects what your Ukrainian Hryvnia actually fetches in dollars on the street.

Since 2022 Ukraine has managed the hryvnia under wartime controls, leaving a cash-market rate that trades apart from the official one.

How much is the Ukrainian Hryvnia worth in US dollars today?

To convert Ukrainian Hryvnia into dollars you divide the amount by the number of UAH it takes to buy one dollar. When the parallel rate is weaker than the official one, each Ukrainian Hryvnia buys fewer real dollars than the headline official rate implies.

This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Ukrainian Hryvnia: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.

Why the UAH to USD street rate differs from the bank

When you convert Ukrainian Hryvnia to dollars at a bank, you get the official National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as the wartime economy, capital controls, a multiple-rate environment, so each Ukrainian Hryvnia fetches fewer dollars there.

The larger the gap between the two rates, the more the official rate overstates what your Ukrainian Hryvnia is really worth in dollars.
