ParleHub can record, cap and report AI spend in US dollars (USD), Canadian dollars (CAD), euros (EUR) or pounds sterling (GBP). If your provider bills you in pounds, you budget a project in pounds and you report to a client in euros, each of those is its own setting — and every money figure on screen says which currency it is in. If your whole organization works in US dollars, nothing changes for you. Every setting below defaults to USD.

​
Three currencies, three jobs

The three are independent. A UK firm can pay Azure in GBP, cap a project in GBP, and show that project’s spend in EUR for a French client — and neither the caps nor the report ever mix the two.
Only Org Admins can set or change any of the three. Project Admins and members can see them, read-only.

​
Reporting currency

​
The organization default

1

Open Budgets & alerts

Go to Organization Settings → Budgets & alerts and find the Reporting currency card.
2

Choose a currency

Pick one from the Reporting currency list. Only currencies ParleHub has published exchange rates for are offered.
3

Save

Select Save changes. The Usage report, its CSV export and every project that follows the default now read in that currency.
If nobody has set it, the default is inherited, and the card says so: “Nobody has set this explicitly — it currently reads GBP…” followed by the reason. The rule is:
  • If every active provider credential in your organization has the same quote currency, that currency is used.
  • Otherwise — no credentials yet, or credentials in more than one currency — it is USD.
An inherited value can change with no action from you: add a second provider credential in another currency and your reports switch to USD. Save a choice on the card to pin it.
The inherited value looks at the quote currency on your provider credentials, not at individual Azure AI Foundry deployments. If your Foundry deployments are quoted in GBP and you want reports in GBP, set the reporting currency explicitly.

​
A project override

A project can report in a different currency from the rest of the organization.
1

Open the project's Budget tab

Under Total spend, find the Reporting currency list.
2

Pick a currency

The change saves as soon as you select it. The line underneath reads “Overrides your organization’s default for this project only.”
3

To go back, choose Use your organization's default

This clears the override, so the project follows the organization default again — including if that default changes later. Choosing the same currency as a default your organization has explicitly saved clears the override too.
Project Admins and members see the result as a line of text — for example “Reporting currency: EUR (following your organization’s default)” — with no control to change it.
Changing a reporting currency changes how figures are shown, never what was recorded. The same project reports the same underlying spend before and after a switch.

​
How conversion works

  • Exchange rates are monthly. ParleHub publishes one rate per currency for each calendar month.
  • Each message is converted once, at the rate for the month it was sent. October’s usage is converted at October’s rate and stays that way. A later rate change never restates a figure you have already reported.
  • A total is a sum of per-month conversions. When a report or a cap spans several months, each month’s usage is converted at that month’s rate and the results are added together — not one conversion of a grand total.
  • Budget checks and screens use the same arithmetic, so the figure that blocks a message is the figure you see on the project’s Budget tab.
  • Nothing is converted when it does not need to be. A figure shown in the currency it was recorded in is exactly the amount as charged, with no rate applied.
  • Usage from before ParleHub published rates for a currency is converted at the earliest rate ParleHub holds for that currency. Those amounts are an approximation rather than that month’s rate, and the assistant says so when it quotes them.

​
Where you will see the currency

Every money figure states its currency. A figure in another currency than the one beside it carries its three-letter code, for example $12.34 USD spent · limit £5,000.00 monthly.

​
”Cost unavailable” is not “Not priced”

Two labels can appear where you would expect a cost. They mean different things, and neither is ever shown as zero. In both cases the tokens are still counted, and a note under the figures says how many were excluded.

​
What stays in US dollars

These are always USD, whatever your reporting currency is. Where they appear next to figures in another currency they carry the USD code so they cannot be mistaken for your own currency.
  • ParleHub Managed models — ParleHub prices them in USD and charges your credit wallet in USD. Their usage still appears in the Usage report alongside everything else, shown in your reporting currency.
  • The prepaid credit wallet and credit purchases.
  • Your ParleHub subscription, billed in USD.
  • Personal budgets — for example “Personal budget of $100.00 USD for this period would be exceeded.”
  • The organization’s monthly spend cap — the field is labelled Cap (USD / month).
  • The project consumption cap for platform services, on the project’s Budget tab — Cap (USD / month).

​
If an exchange rate is missing

Exchange rates are maintained by ParleHub. If one is missing, that is ParleHub’s fault and never something wrong with your account, and the message says so.
