Formula
How the calculation works
Each channel's payout is the amount times its rate, minus its percentage fee, minus any flat fee.
Comparing the two payouts shows which channel gives the recipient more, and by how much.
A higher rate can be beaten by a flat fee on a small transfer, which is why the two must be compared together.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the exchange rate and ignoring the fees, which often decide the winner.
- Forgetting that the rate itself may hide a margin, so the advertised rate is not the real one.
When to use it
- Use it to pick the channel that sends the most money home for a given amount.
- It is not a live comparison; enter each provider's current rate and fee.
Worked example
Sending 1000 at a bank rate of 120 with 1.5% fee gives 118200, while an agent at 121 with 2% fee and 500 flat gives 118080, so the bank wins by 120.
Common questions
Which fee type matters more?
A percentage fee grows with the amount, while a flat fee hurts small transfers most.
Does it include receiving charges?
No, add any receiving-bank charges as a flat fee for accuracy.
