Currency exchange rates change constantly. Banks and ATMs add 2–5% spread on top of mid-market rates.

Use this calculator before making any financial commitment that depends on this type of calculation. Running the numbers in advance lets you evaluate options without the pressure of a live negotiation or decision deadline.
