Formula Used

The Xoom money calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total cost of sending money:

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

The transfer fee percentage is based on Xoom's current fee structure, which may vary depending on the sending and receiving countries. The exchange rate is based on current market rates and may change frequently.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to send $100 USD to a recipient in Mexico. The current exchange rate is 1 USD = 20 MXN, and Xoom's transfer fee is 3%.

Using the formula:

Transfer Fee = $100 × 0.03 = $3 Total Cost = ($100 + $3) × 20 = $1,006 MXN

So, you would need to send approximately $103 USD to receive $1,000 MXN at the recipient's bank account.

Interpreting Results

The results from the Xoom money calculator provide an estimate of the total cost of sending money internationally. Here's what each part of the result means:

  • Transfer Fee: This is the fee charged by Xoom for processing the money transfer.
  • Exchange Rate: This is the current market rate for converting the sending currency to the receiving currency.
  • Total Cost: This is the total amount you'll need to send, including the transfer fee and exchange rate.

Keep in mind that the exchange rate and transfer fee may change, so the actual amount you'll need to send may vary slightly from the estimate provided by the calculator.
