Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the exchange amount:
Exchange Amount = (Amount to Exchange × Exchange Rate) - (Amount to Exchange × Fee Percentage)
Where:
- Exchange Rate is the current rate provided by Westpac for the selected currency pair.
- Fee Percentage is the fee Westpac charges for the exchange (typically 1-3% depending on the currency pair).
The calculator uses Westpac's published exchange rates and fee structure to provide accurate estimates.
Worked Example
Let's say you want to exchange AUD 1,000 to USD using Westpac. The current exchange rate is 0.75 USD per AUD, and the fee is 1%.
Exchange Amount = (1,000 × 0.75) - (1,000 × 0.01) = 750 - 10 = 740 USD
So you would receive approximately USD 740 after the exchange.
Understanding Exchange Fees
Westpac charges exchange fees for currency conversions. The fee percentage varies depending on the currency pair:
| Currency Pair | Fee Percentage |
|---|---|
| AUD to USD | 1% |
| AUD to EUR | 1.5% |
| AUD to GBP | 1.2% |
| AUD to JPY | 2% |
| USD to AUD | 1% |
The calculator automatically applies the appropriate fee percentage based on the currency pair you select.
