Convert between currencies using a custom exchange rate and estimate fees for international transfers.
Conversion Formula:
Converted Amount = (Original - Fee) × Exchange Rate
Enter the current exchange rate from your bank or financial provider. Rates fluctuate constantly.
You can find live exchange rates on Google (search 'USD to EUR'), xe.com, or your bank's website. Note that the rate you actually receive may differ from the mid-market rate due to bank markups.
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between buy and sell rates. Banks and exchange services typically add a markup of 1-5% over this rate. Services like Wise (formerly TransferWise) charge closer to the mid-market rate.
Banks typically charge a currency conversion fee of 1-3% plus potentially a flat transaction fee. Some credit cards charge a 1-3% foreign transaction fee. Specialized transfer services like Wise often charge 0.4-1%.
Currency markets are open 24/5 (closed weekends). Rates are generally most liquid and stable during overlapping business hours between major financial centers. Avoid exchanging at airports, which typically offer the worst rates.
Use a no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card, withdraw cash from ATMs using your debit card (check your bank's ATM fee policy), or use a travel debit card like Charles Schwab or Wise. Avoid exchanging at hotel lobbies or airport kiosks.
