Formula Used

The total cost of sending money through MoneyGram is calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost = (Amount to Send × Exchange Rate) + Transfer Fee

Where:

  • Amount to Send - The amount of money you want to send
  • Exchange Rate - The current exchange rate between the sending and receiving currencies
  • Transfer Fee - The fee charged by MoneyGram for the money transfer

Note: The actual exchange rate and transfer fee may vary based on your location and the specific MoneyGram service you use.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to send $100 USD to a recipient in Mexico. The current exchange rate is 20.5 MXN per USD, and the MoneyGram transfer fee is $5.

Using the formula:

Total Cost = ($100 × 20.5) + $5 = $2,050 + $5 = $2,055

The total cost would be $2,055, and the recipient would receive approximately 2,050 MXN.
