Base fee: $5.00
Percentage fee: 2% of $500 = $10.00
Total fee: $5.00 + $10.00 = $15.00
Amount after fees: $500 - $15 = $485
Exchange rate: 1 USD = 0.85 EUR
Amount received: $485 × 0.85 = €414.25

Example 2: Sending £300 from GBP to USD

If you send £300 from the UK to the US:

Base fee: £7.50
Percentage fee: 3% of £300 = £9.00
Total fee: £7.50 + £9.00 = £16.50
Amount after fees: £300 - £16.50 = £283.50
Exchange rate: 1 GBP = 1.25 USD
