STEP-BY-STEP

How to use this tool

  1. Identify the amount and the currency it is currently denominated in.
  2. Enter the number of quote-currency units received for one base-currency unit.
  3. Add the provider’s percentage conversion fee or estimated markup.
  4. Use the optional second rate only when converting the net result into a third account currency.
  5. Review gross, fee, net, final, and inverse-rate outputs.
  6. Confirm the executable rate, spread, fixed charges, and settlement amount with the provider.
WORKED EXAMPLE

See the calculation in context

Converting 1,000 base units at 1.1000 produces 1,100 quote units. A 0.5% conversion fee is 5.50 quote units, leaving an estimated 1,094.50 before any second conversion.

Calculation method

Gross quote amount = base amount × quote units per base unit. Net quote amount = gross amount − conversion fee. Optional final amount = net quote amount × second conversion rate.

AVOID THESE ERRORS

Common mistakes

  1. Reversing base and quote currencies
  2. Entering the inverse rate without checking the pair order
  3. Ignoring a conversion spread because the listed fee is zero
  4. Applying the fee to the wrong side of the conversion
  5. Using a delayed reference rate as an executable rate
  6. Forgetting a second conversion into the trading account currency

A trader may need to convert from the pair’s quote currency into a different account currency.
