To convert Indonesian rupiah to euros, divide the amount by the number of rupiah in one euro. At an example rate of 19,500, 1,000,000 IDR is about €51, and €100 is about 1,950,000 IDR. The calculator loads the latest ECB reference rate and converts both ways.
How do you convert IDR to EUR?
The rupiah is a high-denomination currency, so one euro buys tens of thousands of rupiah. At a rate of 19,500, one million rupiah (a figure that appears on many price tags in Indonesia) equals 1,000,000 ÷ 19,500 = €51.28. Because the numbers are so big, mistakes with zeros are common, so the tool shows the converted amount in a table for 1 to 10,000 units, and you can type the amount with any number of zeros.
Who needs this conversion?
- Indonesian students and workers in the Netherlands sending money home or paying tuition at a Dutch university.
- Dutch residents with Indonesian family or property, a common link given the shared history.
- Travellers and remote workers comparing costs in Bali or Jakarta with home.
Sending money to Indonesia: costs to watch
Transfers to Indonesia often carry a bank fee plus a margin of 1% to 4% on the exchange rate. The mid-market rate on this page is your benchmark: ask for the total number of rupiah the recipient will receive, divide by the euros sent and compare with the benchmark. The difference is the true cost. Remittance companies are usually cheaper than a traditional bank, but rates and fees vary by day and amount.
Dutch tax and foreign money
If you receive income or hold assets in Indonesia as a Dutch tax resident, you report them in euros. Bank balances and property abroad also count toward box 3 on 1 January, so see the box 3 calculator to see how they are taxed. Freelancers who bill Indonesian clients should add the converted turnover to the ZZP calculator.
Other currency tools: USD to euro and GBP to euro.
Practical examples in rupiah
At an example rate of 19,500 IDR per euro, a bowl of nasi goreng at 35,000 IDR is about €1.80, a Gojek ride of 25,000 IDR about €1.30, a month’s rent for a simple room of 2,000,000 IDR about €103 and a salary of 8,000,000 IDR per month about €410. Indonesian tuition fees and visa costs are often quoted in millions, so a quick conversion helps: move the decimal point and divide by 19.5, so 5,000,000 IDR is roughly €256.
When you send money from the Netherlands to a family member, find out whether the recipient is charged a fee on arrival, because some Indonesian banks deduct a handling cost. Quoted “zero-fee” transfers frequently hide the cost in the exchange rate, which is why comparing to the mid-market figure on this page is the cleanest test.
