Formula Used
The peso fee calculator uses the following formulas based on the selected transaction type:
Percentage-based fee:
Fee = (Amount × Percentage) / 100
Net Amount = Amount - Fee
Fixed fee:
Fee = Fixed Amount
Net Amount = Amount - Fee
For international transfers, additional exchange rate fees may apply. These are calculated separately based on the current exchange rate.
Worked Example
Let's say you want to send $1,000 USD to a recipient in Mexico. The current exchange rate is 1 USD = 20 MXN, and the bank charges a 2% fee on the amount in pesos.
Step 1: Convert USD to MXN
1,000 USD × 20 MXN/USD = 20,000 MXN
Step 2: Calculate the fee
20,000 MXN × 2% = 400 MXN
Step 3: Determine the net amount
20,000 MXN - 400 MXN = 19,600 MXN
The recipient will receive 19,600 MXN after fees. Using our calculator, you can quickly verify this calculation and adjust for different amounts or fee structures.
