Formula Used

The money transfer calculation follows this formula:

Amount Received = (Amount Sent - Transfer Fees) × Exchange Rate

Where:

Amount Sent - The amount you're sending in your home currency
Transfer Fees - Any fees charged by your bank or money transfer service
Exchange Rate - The current rate between your home currency and the recipient's currency

This formula gives you the estimated amount your recipient will receive after all deductions.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to send $1,000 USD to a friend in the UK. The current exchange rate is 0.75 GBP per USD, and your bank charges $25 in fees.

Amount Sent: $1,000 USD
Transfer Fees: $25 USD
Exchange Rate: 0.75 GBP/USD

Using the formula:

Amount Received = ($1,000 - $25) × 0.75 = $975 × 0.75 = £731.25 GBP

Your friend will receive £731.25 after the transfer.
