Flat fee charged per transaction (in input currency).

Understanding Currency Conversion Rates

Converting currency is a fundamental part of international travel, business trade, and online shopping. While the concept seems simple—swapping one money type for another—the math involves exchange rates, spreads, and commissions that can significantly alter the final amount you receive.

How This Calculator Works

This tool allows you to manually input an exchange rate and calculate the net result after fees. Since bank rates fluctuate by the second, using a manual rate input ensures you can calculate the exact offer your bank or exchange bureau is providing you at this moment.

• Amount to Convert: The total sum of the base currency you wish to exchange.
• Exchange Rate: The multiplier used to convert your currency. For example, if 1 USD = 0.85 EUR, the rate is 0.85.
• Bank Fee (%): Most providers charge a percentage "spread" or commission (typically 1% to 3%).
• Fixed Cost: A flat fee sometimes charged for wire transfers or booth exchanges.

The Impact of Fees on Your Exchange Rate

Many travelers look only at the market rate (the "mid-market" rate seen on Google) and are surprised when they receive less money. This is due to the "Effective Exchange Rate."

For example, if the market rate is 1.20 but the bank charges a 3% fee, your effective rate is actually lower. This calculator deducts both percentage-based commissions and fixed transaction fees to show you the Real amount you will pocket.

Formula Used

The calculation logic follows this sequence:

1. Subtract fixed fees from the starting amount (if fee is in base currency).
2. Calculate the gross conversion: (Remaining Amount × Exchange Rate).
3. Subtract percentage fees from the converted total.
4. Result: The final spendable amount in the target currency.
