The formula
How to convert CAD to NZD
Converting CAD into NZD takes a single multiplication once you know the day's rate. On 18 August 2026 that rate is 1.22, so:
NZD = CAD × 1.22
Reverse the direction and you divide rather than multiply. Equivalently, one New Zealand Dollar is worth 0.819687 Canadian Dollars.
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 Canadian Dollar and the New Zealand Dollar
The Canadian Dollar (CAD, symbol C$) is the currency of Canada. The New Zealand Dollar (NZD, symbol NZ$) is the currency of New Zealand.
Like any pair, the rate reflects what traders will pay at that moment, not a fixed value. The feed publishes mid-market figures, which is what financial reporting cites. Actual exchange costs a margin on top.
Worked CAD to NZD examples
A price tag. Something marked C$50 comes to 60.9989 NZD. Round to 61 NZD for a quick mental check while you are standing in the shop.
A monthly salary. C$3,000 a month is 3659.93 NZD — 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 NZ$1,000 and want to know what it buys in Canadian Dollars, that is 819.69 CAD. The converter handles both directions — use the swap button between the two fields.
Watch the margin. At a bureau charging 3%, your C$500 would fetch roughly 591.69 NZD instead of 609.99 NZD. That gap is what the mid-market rate on this page lets you spot.
As of 18 August 2026, 1.22 New Zealand Dollars buys what one Canadian Dollar does. That figure is pulled from a public reference feed once a day.
At today's rate, 100 Canadian Dollars come to 121.9978 NZD. The converter handles any amount, in either direction.
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.
