US dollars and Cambodian riel at the NBC official reference rate

Cambodia's property market is denominated in US dollars: prices, payments and most costs are quoted in USD. The Cambodian riel (KHR) is more common in local taxes, fees and everyday spending. This converter helps you quickly estimate amounts at the National Bank of Cambodia's official reference rate.

Reference rate: 1 USD = 4,027 KHR · NBC official reference as of 1 July 2026.

This is a reference rate with a fixed date, not a real-time rate. Before any transaction, transfer or payment, check the current official rate on the National Bank of Cambodia site; a bank or exchange service will apply its own rate and spread, which may differ.

Why the market is in dollars

Cambodia's economy is largely dollarised: property transactions, developer prices, income programmes and buy-backs are usually stated in USD. For a foreign investor this reduces currency risk versus the local currency, but does not remove the risk of your own currency (for example the rouble) against the dollar when moving money in and out.

Where the riel matters

KHR is typically used for government fees and taxes (for example, immovable-property tax is calculated in riel from the assessed value), for some utilities and everyday payments, and for small cash amounts. Confirm your actual obligations and exact figures from the documents of the specific deal; rates, exemptions and thresholds can change.
