Exchange Rate Markup Calculator

Compare the amount an exchange service offers with the latest available reference rate. See the difference and the effective markup before you exchange.

Enter the offer you want to compare.

What the percentage means

The calculator first estimates how much the latest reference rate would produce. It then compares that amount with the amount you were offered.

A provider can advertise “no commission” while using a less favourable exchange rate. That shortfall is effectively a cost hidden in the rate.

Markup = (reference result − offered result) ÷ reference result × 100.
