About This Calculator
The D&D Money Conversion Calculator helps players and Dungeon Masters quickly convert between the five coin denominations in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition: Copper Pieces (CP), Silver Pieces (SP), Electrum Pieces (EP), Gold Pieces (GP), and Platinum Pieces (PP). Whether you need to split treasure after a dungeon delve, convert a dragon's hoard into portable platinum, or just figure out how many gold pieces a sack of 500 silver is worth, this tool handles it instantly.
Two modes are available. Convert One Coin shows the equivalent value of a single coin type in all other denominations — enter 3 GP and see it's 30 SP, 300 CP, 6 EP, or 0.3 PP. Exchange Mixed Coins lets you enter amounts in multiple coin types and calculates the total value expressed in each denomination — ideal for converting a mixed treasure hoard into standardized units.
The conversion uses the official D&D 5e exchange rates: 1 GP = 10 SP = 100 CP, 1 PP = 10 GP, and 1 EP = 5 SP = 0.5 GP. Results include a breakdown table and interactive charts showing the proportional value of each coin denomination.
Regional Notes
Dungeons & Dragons uses a universal currency system regardless of the players' real-world region. D&D 5e rules are standardized worldwide, so the conversion rates apply equally to campaigns played in India, the US, the UK, or anywhere else. The calculator defaults to standard D&D 5e exchange rates and presents values in D&D coin units.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does D&D money conversion work?
The D&D 5e coin system uses five denominations: copper (CP), silver (SP), electrum (EP), gold (GP), and platinum (PP). The conversion rates are: 1 GP = 10 SP = 100 CP, 1 PP = 10 GP, and 1 EP = 5 SP = 1/2 GP. Enter an amount in any coin type and the calculator shows the equivalent value in all other denominations instantly.
What is GP in D&D?
GP stands for gold piece in Dungeons & Dragons. It is the main unit of currency used to buy equipment, food, and services. One gold piece is worth 10 silver pieces or 100 copper pieces. In real-world terms, many players estimate 1 GP has roughly $100 in purchasing power based on wages and common goods in typical D&D settings.
How many silver pieces make one gold piece in D&D?
10 silver pieces (SP) equal 1 gold piece (GP) in standard D&D 5e. To convert silver to gold, divide the number of silver pieces by 10. For example, 54 SP equals 5 GP with 4 SP left over. You can also multiply gold by 10 to convert gold to silver — 7 GP equals 70 SP.
How do I convert platinum to gold in D&D?
To convert platinum pieces (PP) to gold pieces (GP) in D&D 5e, multiply the number of platinum pieces by 10. For example, 3 PP equals 30 GP. Conversely, divide gold by 10 to get platinum — 50 GP equals 5 PP.
What are electrum pieces in D&D?
Electrum pieces (EP) are a less common coin denomination in D&D 5e worth 5 silver pieces or half a gold piece. Many DMs and published adventures omit electrum entirely, sticking to copper, silver, and gold. The calculator includes EP for those settings that use it, with an exchange rate of 1 EP = 5 SP = 0.5 GP.
How much starting money do characters get in D&D?
Starting equipment value in D&D 5e is typically around 100 GP, though this varies by class and background. Characters who roll for starting gold instead of taking standard equipment get class-dependent ranges — paladins roll 50-200 GP, fighters 20-200 GP, while monks only get 5-20 GP.
Is the D&D Money Conversion calculator free?
Yes, this D&D currency conversion tool is completely free to use with no registration required. You can convert coins, exchange mixed denominations, and share results via URL with other players in your campaign.
