Traveling to Bali soon? 🌴
Before enjoying the beaches, cafés, and markets, you’ll want to know:
💭 How much is 1 dollar in Bali money?
Understanding the USD to IDR exchange rate helps you budget smarter and avoid getting confused by Bali’s high-number currency system.
The first time I arrived in Bali, I handed over $1 to buy water — only to realize cashiers don’t accept USD, and the Indonesian Rupiah has much larger numbers than I expected.
After exchanging money at a licensed counter, I got a handful of colorful notes and finally understood the real value of 1 USD in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).
Here’s the updated 2025 guide you need.
✅ 1️⃣ How Much Is 1 Dollar in Bali Money (2025)?
As of 2025, the exchange rate for 1 U.S. Dollar (USD) in Bali is:
💰 1 USD = Rp15,500 – Rp15,800 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
This rate changes depending on:
- Daily forex market
- Money changer location
- Bill condition (crisp $50–$100 notes get better rates)
💬 Example:
$10 ≈ Rp155,000 – Rp158,000
$100 ≈ Rp1,550,000 – Rp1,580,000
✅ 2️⃣ What Can 1 Dollar Buy in Bali?
With roughly Rp15,500, you can get:
🍜 A simple local meal (warung-style)
☕ A small Balinese coffee
🧃 A bottle of mineral water
🛵 Scooter parking for the whole day
🍌 Fresh fruit from a local market
Bali is affordable, but prices vary by area — Seminyak or Canggu cafés cost more than Kuta or Gianyar.
