📖 How it works & FAQ

A pocket conversion table from a single exchange rate

When you land in another country, you rarely need a live currency feed — you need a fast gut-check: is that 45 in local money a bargain or a rip-off? This generator turns one exchange rate into a complete two-way cheat sheet. Enter how much foreign currency one unit of your home currency buys, and it instantly builds a table converting 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 in both directions, plus the reverse rate (1 ÷ your rate) so you can sanity-check any price on the spot. You can change the amounts to whatever denominations matter for your trip — taxi fares, street food, hotel nights — and pick how many decimal places you want. Copy the finished sheet as plain text for your notes app, or print it and fold it into your wallet. Everything is calculated in your browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Enter your home and foreign currency codes (for example USD and EUR — any label works).
  2. Type the exchange rate as 1 home = X foreign. Grab today's rate from your bank, card app, or a quick search.
  3. Adjust the amounts list if you want different denominations, and set your preferred decimal places.
  4. Read the live tables, then hit Copy cheat sheet or Print to take it with you.

FAQ

Where do I find the exchange rate?
Check your bank or credit card app, a currency site, or a search engine — then enter the number here. Using your own card's rate is smartest, since that's what you'll actually be charged.
Which direction should the rate go?
Enter how much foreign currency one unit of your home currency buys. If you only know the opposite, swap the two currency fields — the tool always shows both directions anyway.
Can I use amounts other than 1–100?
Yes. The amounts field accepts any comma-separated list, such as 500, 1000, 5000 for currencies with large denominations like yen or forint.
Does this update automatically?
No — there's no live feed, which is what keeps it private and offline-friendly. Re-enter a fresh rate before each trip. Estimates only, not professional financial advice; real card, ATM, and exchange-counter rates include fees and vary.
