Rates from DolarApi.com, which takes each one from the source linked on its row. Each row shows when that source last updated it.

How it is calculated

The parallel row is the USDT price on Binance P2P, the market people mean by the blue or parallel dollar. It is not a bank rate. The official row is the rate the Banco Central de Bolivia publishes for a date, so it shows that date and no time.

Each row has a buy and a sell price. The calculator uses the sell price, which is what it costs to buy one dollar. If you are selling dollars, the buy price is the one you get. Amounts are multiplied or divided by the rate and rounded to the cent.

This page refreshes the rates from DolarApi every few hours, so a rate can be a few hours old, and each row shows when its source last updated it. If DolarApi can't be reached, the page says so instead of showing an old number.

Questions

What is the blue dollar in Bolivia?

It is the price people pay each other for dollars outside the banks, also called the parallel dollar. This page shows the Binance P2P price, where people trade USDT, a stablecoin worth one dollar, for bolivianos. It is the closest public number to the blue dollar, so many people call it the Binance dollar.

Why is the parallel dollar different from the official one?

The official rate is the one the Banco Central de Bolivia publishes for each day. The parallel rate comes from what people agree to pay each other on Binance, so it moves all day with supply and demand.

Can Outlayr log my spending in bolivianos and dollars?

Yes. Outlayr is a multi-currency expense tracker that keeps the rate it used next to every entry. Choose My rate and type the rate you actually got, such as the parallel rate you paid, and the entry keeps it.

Is what I type saved?
