What if fees exceed the amount?

The worksheet rejects that input—total fee cannot exceed the transfer amount.

Is amount received what the recipient gets?

Only after the fees you entered. Receiving-side or conversion fees may still apply outside this model.

Is this remittance advice?

No. It is an educational fee arithmetic worksheet.

How to Estimate Transfer Fees

Use fee terms from a quote or receipt you already have.

Choose a display currency.

FX is separate

This worksheet does not model mid-market spreads or receiving-side charges—add those outside the form if needed.

What the Fee Total Means

Total fee is percentage fee plus fixed fee. Amount received is amount minus total fee when fees do not exceed the amount. Effective fee percent is total fee ÷ amount.
