Where:

- Exchange Rate is the current market rate between the two currencies.
This formula ensures you see a realistic estimate of what your recipient will actually receive after all deductions.
Worked Example
Let's say you want to send $1000 from USD to GBP:
- Amount to Send: $1000
- Transaction Fee: 1.5% of $1000 = $15
- Amount After Fee: $1000 - $15 = $985
- Exchange Rate: 1 USD = 0.75 GBP
- Final Amount: $985 × 0.75 = £738.75
So, your recipient would receive approximately £738.75 after all deductions.
Understanding Transaction Fees
Xpress Money charges a transaction fee of 1.5% of the amount you send, with a minimum fee of $5. This fee helps cover the costs of processing your transfer.
Note: The actual amount your recipient receives may vary slightly due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time you initiate the transfer and when it's processed.
To minimize fees, consider sending larger amounts when possible. The calculator will show you the exact fee amount based on your input.
