The value of one shilling in US dollars depends on which shilling you mean, as several countries use shillings as their currency.
- Kenyan Shilling (KES): As of 2025, 1 Kenyan shilling is approximately 0.0077 to 0.0078 US dollars
- Tanzanian Shilling (TZS): In 2025, 1 Tanzanian shilling is about 0.00037 to 0.00041 US dollars on average
- Ugandan Shilling (UGX): 1 Ugandan shilling is roughly 0.00027 US dollars
- Historical British Shilling: The old British shilling, no longer in circulation, was valued around 0.066 US dollars historically, but it is not used as currency today
- Shilling (general or crypto-related): Some sources show a "shilling" valued at about 0.0885 US dollars, but this may refer to a digital or other non-standard currency rather than official national currency
In summary, the most common reference is the Kenyan shilling, which is about 0.0077 USD per shilling in 2025. Other East African shillings have different, generally lower values relative to the US dollar. The British shilling is obsolete and not used anymore.
