Exchange Rate Calculator - Using one effectively! »

The Foreign Exchange market is becoming more and more popular on a daily basis. People are realizing that they can find their holiday cash at better rates, and business men and women on a global basis are realizing that this is a business opportunity for them. But, what is a exchange rate calculator? How can you make sure you use one effectively to ensure you get the best value for your cash purchase, or make the most profitable trade?

Let us start off with the fundamentals of using a calculator. The calculators are linked to current exchange rates across the globe. So if the exchange rate changes from $1:£0.66 to $1:£0.69, then the calculator will take this on board to give you the correct figure. Basically, this tool allows you to see in the current market, how much of one currency you'll have to spend, to receive a certain amount in another currency.

Here is a short example; imagine we are trading the GBP/USD and the rate is £1:$1.49. This means to get exactly $1.49, you will need to spend £1.00. We can quickly see that £100 or £1,000 would be worth $149 or $1,490. If the rate then dropped to £1:$1.42, then the pound has weakened and we have lost value. We will now only receive $1.42 for every £1 we spend on the dollar.

You are probably thinking that you have seen different exchange rates advertised at different places, but at the same time. People that allow you to buy or sell currency from them are called dealers or brokers. Each dealer and broker is offered the same rate, but the rate they sell to their clients may vary, which is why you see the difference in price. Of course, the difference in price is their profit! These rates are called retail rates and they are the rates you should expect to pay as you are a small scale customer in comparison to many other traders and buyers.

It is extremely important to not only ensure you used an exchange rate calculator correctly, but ensure that you use an up to date one. These calculators are extremely useful to many people and not only people that trade in foreign exchange. Going on holiday, forecasting expenses for the next financial year of a business or even importing goods are all things that use different currencies, so it is important to ensure you are being quoted the right rates.
