Solving Your Calculation Queries
Frequently Asked Questions
Which day’s exchange rate should I use for quotations? Will fluctuations affect my quoted price?
International freight is often priced in USD or other foreign currencies, meaning exchange rate fluctuations directly impact your TWD costs. In practice, we recommend clearly stating the exchange rate benchmark and the quotation’s validity period (e.g., “Quote valid for 7 days; exchange rate based on the date of quotation”) on your quote. It is also wise to pre-arrange adjustment terms if the rate fluctuates beyond a certain percentage to avoid discrepancies in expectations. The rates provided by this tool are for reference during your cost assessment; actual billing terms remain subject to the formal contract or quotation.
What is the difference between "Spot Rates" and "Cash Rates"?
Spot Rates apply to electronic transfers between bank accounts, which is the standard for corporate settlements and international wire transfers. Cash Rates apply to the physical buying and selling of banknotes at a bank counter; because banks incur costs for handling physical currency, cash rates are usually less favorable than spot rates. When businesses evaluate freight, disbursements, or customs costs, they typically use the Spot Buying Rate as their reference, which is also the primary basis for this converter.
