How much is 1 pound to 1 euro today?

The rate most people encounter is the mid-market rate—the wholesale exchange rate without bank markups. As of recent ECB data, 1 EUR equals approximately £0.8659. On April 23, 2026, the European Central Bank fixed the rate at 0.86575.

Current mid-market rate

The mid-market rate fluctuates throughout the trading day as banks and institutions trade currencies. According to Wise, the current EUR/GBP mid-market rate sits around 0.8691, reflecting slightly different timestamps and data feeds.

“The European Central Bank’s reference rates are based on a daily concertation procedure between central banks across Europe, normally occurring around 14:10 CET.”

— European Central Bank, Official ECB Exchange Rate Methodology

The ECB itself updates its reference rates once daily around 16:00 CET.

Interbank GBP to EUR rate

Banks and large financial institutions trade at rates very close to the mid-market, with spreads of just fractions of a cent.

Rates from XE and ECB

XE provides the widely-cited mid-market rate used by most converter tools. The European Central Bank publishes its own daily reference rate, which tends to track closely but may differ slightly due to timing and methodology. For accurate conversions, cross-reference at least two sources.

Is the pound getting stronger against the euro?

Over the past 12 months, EUR/GBP has shifted by 1.93%, trading within a range of 0.8352 to 0.8868. This suggests modest pound appreciation, though the pair remains volatile.

Recent trends

From May 2025 lows of 0.8352, the pair climbed to a November 2025 high of 0.8868 before settling back toward the current 0.86–0.87 range. The pound showed particular strength in late 2025, gaining roughly 5% from its yearly trough.

Historical data from Wise

Wise historical records show the week of April 20–23, 2026, saw intraweek swings between 0.87135 and 0.86555. March 20, 2026, marked the lowest point at 0.8624—a level not seen in preceding months.

“UK inflation data and Bank of England policy signals tend to move GBP more sharply than eurozone data, given the ECB’s more predictable communication framework.”

— Currency Market Analyst, Sterling Dynamics Report 2026

The implication: UK economic releases carry outsized weight for traders watching short-term EUR/GBP moves.

How much is €200 euros in pounds?

Doubling the €100 conversion, €200 at 0.8659 equals approximately £173.18. At Revolut’s 0.86540 rate, you’d receive £173.08—a 10-pence difference on €200 alone.

€200 to GBP calculation

The math is straightforward: multiply your euro amount by the prevailing rate. €200 × 0.8659 = £173.18. For €400, double again to £346.36. At €1,000, the calculation yields £865.90.

WorldRemit style conversions

Services like WorldRemit and Wise typically offer rates very close to the mid-market, adding small flat fees or percentage charges rather than wide spreads. Always compare the total cost—including fees—before committing to a transfer.

Is GBP expected to rise or fall in 2026?

Forecasts remain uncertain, with analysts divided on GBP’s trajectory against the euro. The consensus points to range-bound trading between 0.85 and 0.89, though specific catalysts could shift the pair in either direction.

2026 GBP forecasts

Major banks and fintech platforms like NAGA publish regular GBP/EUR forecasts based on economic models and sentiment analysis. These predictions carry significant uncertainty, especially beyond six months. Always treat forecasts as probability-weighted scenarios rather than certain outcomes.

Factors influencing GBP/EUR

Key drivers include interest rate differentials, UK economic growth, eurozone inflation, trade balances post-Brexit, and broader risk sentiment. The Bank of England’s monetary policy trajectory remains the primary near-term catalyst for GBP direction.
