The formula
How to convert AUD to CNY
Converting AUD into CNY takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 18 August 2026 that rate is 4.7962, so:
CNY = AUD × 4.7962
To go from CNY back to AUD, divide by the same rate. Put another way, 0.208499 Australian Dollars to the Chinese Yuan.
The converter at the top of this page does both directions and updates as you type. Every result is recalculated on the server as well, so the number you see is the number that gets stored.
About the Australian Dollar and the Chinese Yuan
The Australian Dollar (AUD, symbol A$) is the currency of Australia. The Chinese Yuan (CNY, symbol ¥) is the currency of China.
Neither currency is pegged to the other, so the figure drifts from one session to the next. These are reference rates rather than dealing rates. Treat them as the benchmark you measure an offer against.
Worked AUD to CNY examples
A price tag. Something marked A$50 comes to 239.81 CNY. Round to 240 CNY for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. A$3,000 a month is 14388.53 CNY — useful when you are comparing a job offer across the two markets. Bear in mind the rate moves, so a figure agreed today will not be the figure paid out in six months.
Going the other way. If you are holding ¥1,000 and want to know what it buys in Australian Dollars, that is 208.5 AUD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your A$500 would fetch roughly 2326.15 CNY instead of 2398.09 CNY. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 18 August 2026, 4.7962 Chinese Yuan buys what one Australian Dollar does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.

Almost certainly not. What you see here is the mid-market rate, the midpoint of the market. Every retail provider takes a cut on top of it. The value of knowing the mid-market figure is being able to measure that cut.
