Currency Conversion Formula Explained

The calculator uses the following simple formula:

Where:

• Target Amount = The resulting amount in the destination currency
• Source Amount = The original amount in the source currency
• Exchange Rate = The rate at which one currency converts to another

For cross-currency conversions (non-USD pairs), our system calculates using USD as an intermediate step since our base rates are in USD.

Tips for Getting the Best Currency Exchange Rates

• Monitor Rate Trends: Check rates regularly to spot favorable trends before exchanging large amounts
• Avoid Airport Exchanges: These typically offer the worst rates with high fees
• Use Credit Cards with No Foreign Transaction Fees: Often provides better rates than cash exchanges
• Consider Multi-Currency Accounts: If you frequently deal with multiple currencies
• Compare Provider Rates: Different banks and exchange services offer different rates and fees
