How to calculate the total amount received after currency exchange?

When exchanging currency, it’s essential to consider both the exchange rate and any fees that may apply. The total amount received after the exchange can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Amount After Exchange:

§§ T = (A \times R) - F §§

where:

  • § T § — total amount received after exchange
  • § A § — amount to be exchanged
  • § R § — exchange rate
  • § F § — exchange fee (can be a percentage of the exchanged amount or a fixed amount)

This formula allows you to determine how much money you will actually receive after the currency exchange process, taking into account any fees that may be deducted.

Example:

  • Amount to be Exchanged (§ A §): $100
  • Exchange Rate (§ R §): 1.2
  • Exchange Fee (§ F §): $5

Total Amount After Exchange:

§§ T = (100 \times 1.2) - 5 = 120 - 5 = 115 §§
