USD to DOP conversion table
Common amounts at the current mid-market rate of 1 USD = 58.88 DOP.
Mid-market rate — the midpoint banks trade at, before any provider adds a margin. What you actually receive is below.
What you actually get for 1,000 USD
Nobody converts at the mid-market rate. At 1 USD = 58.88 DOP, a perfect conversion of 1,000 USD would be 58,885 DOP. Here is what 16 services would really send, fee and exchange-rate margin included.
On 1,000 USD, the gap between the best and worst option here is 2,282 DOP — the same money, converted on the same day. That difference is the fee plus the margin each service builds into its rate, and it is the only part of this page you can do anything about. How exchange-rate markups work.
Typical pricing for a bank-funded transfer, not a live quote — promotional offers and payment method can change it. Check the provider before sending. Rows marked est. use the provider's general figure, and USD est. one measured for USD sends but not for DOP specifically. Neither is ranked cheapest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the US Dollar to Dominican Peso exchange rate?
The USD to DOP exchange rate has recently been around 58-60 Dominican pesos per 1 US dollar. The peso is a managed float that depreciates gradually rather than swinging wildly, guided by the Banco Central de la República Dominicana. The United States is by far the largest source of remittances to the DR, making USD/DOP a heavily used corridor. The rate shown above is the live mid-market USD/DOP figure, refreshed every 30 minutes.
How can Americans send money to the Dominican Republic?
Popular options include Instarem (no transfer fee with a tight ~0.6% rate, near mid-market on your first transfer), Paysend (low flat fee with a tight rate), Remitly (fast bank deposit and cash pickup, first transfer often free), Ria, Western Union and MoneyGram (the widest cash-pickup networks — Caribe Express, Banreservas, BHD), and Wise (transparent mid-market rate, better for larger bank transfers). Compare the total pesos received per $100 sent — a low advertised fee can hide a marked-up rate. See our Send Money to the Dominican Republic guide for a full breakdown.
Why does the USD to DOP rate keep drifting up?
The Dominican peso follows a gentle, managed depreciation against the dollar — typically a few percent per year — reflecting inflation differentials and the central bank's exchange-rate policy. Tourism (a major source of dollars), remittances, and US Federal Reserve policy all influence the pace. Unlike free-floating emerging-market currencies, the DOP rarely moves sharply day to day, so the rate you see is fairly stable week to week.
Should I exchange dollars in the US or the Dominican Republic?
For spending cash, exchange in the DR — banks and authorized casas de cambio in Santo Domingo, Santiago and the resort areas give better USD/DOP rates than US airport kiosks. For sending money home, skip cash exchange entirely: a transfer app like Remitly or Paysend delivers pesos to a bank account or cash-pickup point at a far better rate than any storefront. US dollars are widely accepted in tourist zones, but you'll usually get a poor built-in rate paying in dollars.
Is the Dominican Republic expensive for US tourists?
The DR offers good value for Americans. With $1 buying roughly 58-60 pesos, everyday costs outside the all-inclusive resorts are modest — local meals a few dollars, public transport very cheap. Punta Cana and Cap Cana resort areas are priced closer to US levels, while Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, Santiago and smaller towns stretch your dollars further. Pay in pesos rather than dollars for the best prices.
