Formula and Logic
The tool calculates the projected value by adjusting the current exchange rate by the expected percentage change. Impact is shown as both a monetary amount and a percentage. The formula is: New Rate = Current Rate × (1 + Change% / 100). Projected Value = Amount × New Rate. Impact Amount = Projected Value - Current Value.
