How to Convert Pounds to Pakistani Rupees

Consider calculating the value of your British pounds into the currency of Pakistani rupees (PKR) before traveling to Pakistan. This way you will know exactly how much your money is worth when you take your business trip or vacation. In Pakistan a rupee is further subdivided into a smaller currency unit called the paise. One hundred paise make up a single rupee. In general, the Pakistani rupee is worth significantly less than the British pound.

Instructions

- 1
  Decide on the amount of British pounds you wish to exchange to Pakistani rupees.
- 2
  Look up the current exchange rate for converting British pounds to Pakistani rupees on an online currency converter such as the one offered by CNN Money (see References).
- 3
  Multiply the amount of British pounds by the exchange rate to obtain the value of your money in Pakistani rupees. For example, if you have 10 British pounds and the exchange rate is 127.88 then you get 1278.8 rupees. Many online currency converters will do the math for you.
