How Do I Use the Currency Calculator in the Accounting Programs

This FAQ applies to AccountEdge, AccountEdge Network Edition and Premier Accounting

The Currency Calculator window allows you to calculate either the exchange rate or a currency amount when entering Multi-Currency transactions. If you enter two of the following components - exchange rate, originating currency amount and local currency amount - the Currency Calculator window will calculate the third component for you.

For example, if you have $100 and you know the exchange rate for British pounds is 1.44, enter those amounts, and the Currency Calculator will calculate the value of your currency in British pounds - in this case, 67.44 British pounds.

The Currency Calculator can be found under your HELP menu in your accounting program.
