Does this currency converter use live exchange rates?
No. Enter the exchange rate manually from your bank, broker, or FX quote to calculate conversion and fees.

About this tool
Banks, remittance services, and payment platforms all apply their own exchange rate - one that differs from the mid-market rate you'd see in a search engine or news site - and often add a separate conversion fee on top. This manual currency converter free online lets you enter the exact rate and fee you've been quoted (from a bank statement, broker quote, or provider's rate page) to calculate precisely what you'll pay or receive, rather than relying on a theoretical mid-market approximation that doesn't reflect your actual transaction.
This currency converter converts an amount between two currencies using an exchange rate and an optional conversion fee percentage that you enter yourself - a manual calculator for when you already know the specific rate you'll be charged, not a live-rate lookup tool.
How to Use Currency Converter
Set Currency Pair
Enter source currency, target currency, amount, exchange rate, and fee percentage.
Convert Amount
The calculator applies the rate and subtracts estimated conversion fees.
Review Net Value
Check original amount, fee amount, gross converted value, and net converted amount.
Compare Rates
Try different bank or broker rates to compare final received amount.
Common Workflows
Convert at a Quoted Rate
Enter the exact exchange rate your bank, broker, or provider quoted you, along with the amount, to see exactly what you'd pay or receive at that specific rate.
Factor In a Conversion Fee
Add the Conversion Fee (%) your provider charges to see the Converted Amount after the fee is deducted from the converted total.
Compare Two Providers' Quotes
Run the same amount through the calculator once per provider's quoted rate and fee to see which one nets you more in the target currency.
Check the Fee's Real Cost
Compare Gross Converted Value against Converted Amount - the difference is the Fee Amount, showing exactly how much the fee costs in the target currency, not just as a percentage.
Find Your Rate Before Converting
Look up the current rate via a search engine or your bank or broker's own quote page, then enter that specific figure - the calculator doesn't fetch or estimate a rate for you.
Best For
- Converts an amount between two of 9 supported currencies using an exchange rate and an optional fee percentage that you enter - not a live or looked-up rate.
- Shows the gross converted amount, the fee amount, and the net converted amount separately, so you can see exactly how much a quoted fee costs in the target currency.
- No login, no signup - manual currency converter free for calculating your actual rate and fee, not the theoretical mid-market rate.
Examples
Convert an amount at a quoted rate with a fee
Input
Amount 1,000 USD, Exchange Rate 0.92 (1 USD = 0.92 EUR), Conversion Fee 1.5%Result
Converted Amount EUR 906.20, Original Amount USD 1,000.00, Fee Amount EUR 13.80, Gross Converted Value EUR 920.00Gross Converted Value (920.00) is the amount times the rate; Fee Amount (13.80) is 1.5% of that gross converted figure, not of the original 1,000 - Converted Amount is the gross value minus the fee.
Use Cases
Calculating an invoice amount at an agreed rate
Enter the rate specified in a contract or invoice to calculate the exact amount due in the other currency.
Budgeting travel spending at your card or bank's rate
Enter the rate and any foreign-transaction fee your card issuer applies to estimate what a purchase will actually cost.
Comparing net amounts across providers
Run the same amount through each provider's quoted rate and fee to see which one delivers more in the target currency.
Common Mistakes
Problem
Expecting a live or automatically updated rate
Solution
This calculator doesn't fetch or look up any rate - the Exchange Rate field is whatever you type in, and it stays fixed until you change it.
Problem
Entering the rate in the wrong direction
Solution
The field asks for how much one unit of the From currency equals in the To currency (like 1 USD = 0.92 EUR) - entering the inverse rate will produce a converted amount that's off by a large factor.
Problem
Applying the fee percentage to the original amount mentally
Solution
Fee Amount is calculated on Gross Converted Value (in the To currency), not on the original Amount - don't estimate the fee cost by applying the percentage to your starting figure.
Problem
Assuming a currency not in the list is supported
Solution
Only 9 currencies are available in the From and To dropdowns - if yours isn't listed, this calculator can't convert to or from it.
Tips & Best Practices
Get your rate from the actual source you'll transact through
Look up the rate via a search engine or your bank/broker's own quote page for a general reference, but use the specific rate your provider quotes you for an accurate result.
Enter the fee as a percentage even if you were quoted a flat amount
If your provider charges a flat fee instead of a percentage, convert it to an equivalent percentage of your transaction amount before entering it here.
Double-check the rate direction before relying on the result
Confirm whether your quoted rate is "1 From = X To" or the reverse - entering it backward produces a converted amount that's off by a large factor, not just slightly wrong.
Re-run the numbers for each quote you're comparing
Rates and fees vary by provider - calculate the net amount for each quote separately rather than assuming a lower rate always means a better deal once fees are included.
Limitations
No live or historical exchange rates
The calculator doesn't fetch, look up, or store any exchange rate data - every rate is a number you type in yourself, and it applies only to this one calculation.
Limited to 9 currencies
The From and To dropdowns offer USD, EUR, GBP, PKR, INR, AED, SAR, CAD, and AUD only - other currencies aren't supported.
No rate or fee validation
The calculator doesn't check whether an entered rate or fee is realistic - an incorrect or backward rate produces a confidently wrong result with no warning.
Fee is calculated on the converted amount, not the original
Conversion Fee (%) is applied to Gross Converted Value in the To currency - if your provider calculates its fee differently (for example, on the original amount), the Fee Amount shown won't match exactly.
No provider integrations
There's no connection to any bank, broker, or FX data provider - all figures come from what you manually enter.
Comparisons
Gross Converted Value vs. Converted Amount: Where the Fee Goes
Both figures come from the same rate applied to your amount - the fee is the only difference between them.
| Gross Converted Value | Converted Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| What it shows | Amount x Exchange Rate, before any fee is deducted | Gross Converted Value minus the Fee Amount - what you'd actually receive |
| Depends on the fee? | No - only on Amount and Exchange Rate | Yes - Conversion Fee (%) is applied to this figure to produce the final result |
| Best for | Seeing the theoretical conversion before costs | Seeing what actually lands after a provider's fee |
Which should you use?
The gap between these two figures is exactly the Fee Amount - compare it across providers to see which quoted rate-and-fee combination actually nets you more.
