How to Use This Calculator

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the exchange amount:

Final Amount = (Amount to Exchange × Exchange Rate) × (1 - Fee Percentage)

Where:

  • Exchange Rate is the mid-market rate between the two currencies
  • Fee Percentage is CitiBank's exchange fee (typically 2.5% for non-CitiBank card transactions)

Note that actual exchange rates may vary slightly from the mid-market rate based on market conditions and CitiBank's pricing.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to exchange $1,000 USD to EUR at CitiBank. The current mid-market exchange rate is 1 USD = 0.85 EUR, and CitiBank's fee is 2.5%.

Final Amount = (1000 × 0.85) × (1 - 0.025) = 850 × 0.975 = 826.25 EUR

So you would receive approximately €826.25 after the exchange fee.
