Using the currency calculator

We can't all be maths wizards, but with the currency calculator you don't need to be.

Even if you don't use AccountRight's multi-currency features, you can use the currency calculator to calculate an exchange rate or currency amount.

When using the currency calculator, enter two of the following components:

  • exchange rate

  • foreign currency amount

  • local currency amount

and the currency calculator will calculate the third component for you.

For example, if you have $100 and you enter the exchange rate for United States dollars as 0.75, the currency calculator works out the value of your currency in United States dollars—in this case USD$75.00
