Formula
How the calculation works
The amount received now uses today's rate after the fee, and the amount later uses the expected rate after the same fee.
The gain is the later payout minus the now payout, so a positive figure means waiting pays.
A negative gain means the expected rate is lower, so sending now is better.
Common mistakes
- Treating the expected rate as certain: exchange rates can move the other way.
- Ignoring that the fee may change, or that a fixed fee costs more the longer you wait.
When to use it
- Use it to weigh sending money now against waiting for a better rate.
- It is not a forecast; the expected rate is your own guess.
Worked example
Sending 1000 now at 120 gives 118200, but waiting for 123 gives 121155, a gain of 2955 taka.
Common questions
What if the rate falls?
The gain turns negative, meaning sending now would have been better.
Is the future rate guaranteed?
No, it is your own expectation, so treat the result as a scenario.
