Tips

  1. Verify current rates for transactions: This calculator uses sample rates - always check current market rates from xe.com, OANDA, or your bank before making actual currency exchanges
  2. Avoid airport exchanges: Airport currency exchanges typically offer rates 10-15% worse than market rates - use ATMs at your destination instead
  3. Decline dynamic currency conversion: When paying abroad, always choose to pay in the local currency rather than your home currency to avoid 3-7% merchant markups
  4. Factor in fees: Add transaction fees (typically $3-5 per ATM withdrawal or 1-3% for credit cards) to calculate the true cost of currency exchange
  5. Plan with a buffer: Add 5-10% to your estimated travel budget to account for exchange rate fluctuations and unexpected expenses
