Currency risk calculator: what an exchange-rate move does to a contract
A sale or purchase priced in another currency changes value as the exchange rate moves. Enter the contract and your costs, and see what moves of 5, 10 and 15% would do to its value and margin in your currency.

How to use this tool
- Enter the contract value and its currency.
- Choose your own currency and enter your costs.
- Read the value at today’s cross rate.
- Read the table of rate moves and the rate at which the margin falls to zero.
How it is calculated
Cross rate = EUR rate of the contract currency ÷ EUR rate of your currency, from the reference rates of the day. The table moves that rate by ±5, 10 and 15% and recalculates the contract value in your currency; the margin column subtracts your costs.
Data: 21,223 current quotes from 513 markets; reference exchange rates of 11 November 2026.
Questions and answers
What is the break-even rate?
The exchange rate at which the contract value in your currency just covers your costs. A move beyond it turns the margin negative.
Which rate is used as today’s rate?
The cross rate from the reference exchange rates used across Husfarm, with their date shown in the tool.
How do businesses limit currency risk?
Common ways are pricing in their own currency, a forward contract with a bank, or matching costs and revenue in the same currency. The tool shows the size of the risk; it does not recommend a hedge.
