What a US$ game server really costs in CAD

Convert a US$ game server hosting price to CAD at the latest Bank of Canada rate, add your card's foreign-transaction fee, and see the monthly and yearly cost.

The rate this page uses

Bank of Canada USD/CAD rate: 1.4246 CAD per US$1
Rate observed on: 2026-10-02
Default card fee: 2.5%

Each US$1 converts to CA$1.4246 at the Bank of Canada USD/CAD daily exchange rate observed on 2026-10-02. The Bank publishes one observation each business day, so on a weekend or holiday the latest rate is a day or two old - the date shown is the rate's own, never "today".

Enter the monthly US-dollar price a host charges, and the calculator converts it at 1.4246 CAD per US$1. Set the foreign-transaction fee your card or wallet adds (2.5% by default) or 0 to see the raw conversion, and the months field prices a longer stint than one month.

At the rate above, a US$9.99-a-month server with a 2.5% fee works out to CA$14.59 a month, or CA$175.08 over twelve months.
