GTQ ↔ USD formula
Dollars = Quetzales ÷ Exchange rate (GTQ per 1 USD)
Quetzales = Dollars × Exchange rate
The reference mid-market rate is published by the Bank of Guatemala (Banguat). Banks, street houses, and remittance apps add their own buy/sell spread. This page is an educational estimate (verified August 2026): always confirm with your provider before you send money.

Large amounts: property, tuition, and business
A large transfer needs a clear USD estimate before fees. Enter the exact GTQ amount, keep or override the prefilled Banguat rate, compare against your provider, and subtract remittance fees separately.
Never treat a static table as a live quote for a wire, bank transfer, or remittance app.
Remittances vs reference rate
- Banguat reference ≈ market average (what the calculator tries to load).
- Your app/bank rate is usually worse for you (spread).
- Fixed or % fee comes off the send or receive side.
