Lei (RON) to Euro (EUR) Calculator
Enter your amount in Romanian Lei, choose an exchange rate, and optionally include transfer fees to estimate how much EUR you will receive.
Why use a lei to euro calculator?
If you work, travel, invest, or shop between Romania and the euro area, currency conversion matters. A difference of just a few bani in the exchange rate can affect your final amount, especially for larger transfers. This calculator helps you estimate your EUR outcome quickly and clearly.
It is useful for freelancers paid in RON, families planning trips to Europe, online buyers comparing prices, and anyone making a bank transfer from lei to euro.
How this calculator works
Base conversion
The core formula is simple:
EUR (before fees) = RON amount ÷ exchange rate
Example: if the rate is 4.97 RON per 1 EUR, then 1,000 RON is about 201.21 EUR before fees.
Fees and final payout
Many banks or exchange platforms charge either:
- A percentage fee (for example, 1%),
- A fixed fee (for example, 5 RON),
- Or both.
This calculator subtracts those fees from your lei amount first, then converts to euro. That gives a more realistic estimate of what reaches your account.
Sample conversion table (at 4.97 RON/EUR, no fees)
| Lei (RON) | Euro (EUR) |
|---|---|
| 100 | 20.12 |
| 500 | 100.60 |
| 1,000 | 201.21 |
| 5,000 | 1,006.04 |
| 10,000 | 2,012.07 |
Tips to get a better lei to euro rate
- Compare your bank with dedicated FX or transfer services.
- Check the total cost, not only the headline rate.
- Avoid last-minute airport exchange desks when possible.
- Watch for hidden spread costs in card conversions.
- For large amounts, ask for a negotiated rate.
Frequently asked questions
Is RON the same as LEI?
Yes. RON is the currency code for the Romanian leu (plural: lei).
Why is my bank result different?
Banks may use a different exchange rate than the mid-market rate and apply additional commissions. Timing can also change the result.
Can I use commas in input?
Yes. This calculator accepts both commas and dots for decimals (for example, 4,97 or 4.97).
