About the Jamaican dollar (JMD)
The Jamaican dollar (JMD) is the currency of Jamaica. Unlike the pegged currencies of Barbados and the Bahamas, the Jamaican dollar floats, so the USD to JMD rate changes over time and differs between banks, cambios and money-transfer services.
What is the USD to JMD exchange rate?
This tool uses an indicative reference rate of about 156.12 JMD per 1 USD. Because the Jamaican dollar floats, the actual rate changes daily and varies between banks and cambios.
How much is 100 US dollars in Jamaican dollars?
Enter 100 in the Amount field of the calculator above and it shows the JMD equivalent instantly. The Jamaican dollar floats, so we don't state a fixed converted figure here — your bank or a cambio will also apply its own margin on top of the mid-market rate.
How much is 500 USD in JMD?
Use the calculator above: enter 500 as the amount and it shows the JMD equivalent instantly. Because the Jamaican dollar floats, we don't print a fixed converted figure here — it would go stale as soon as the rate moves.
Can I convert small or decimal amounts like $6.99?
Yes, the calculator above accepts any amount including cents — just enter the exact figure.
Is the Jamaican dollar pegged to the US dollar?
No. The Jamaican dollar floats. By contrast, the Barbadian dollar is pegged at 2.00 per USD (Central Bank of Barbados) and the Bahamian dollar at 1.00 per USD (Central Bank of The Bahamas).
Can I convert Jamaican dollars back to US dollars?
Yes — use the swap button to reverse the pair, or choose JMD as the source currency in the converter above.
