How these numbers are worked out
- Every method assumes you spend exactly the amount above, with fees taken out of it, and is measured against the mid-market rate.
- Bank wire: 25 EUR in sending and intermediary fees, plus a 2.5% markup on the exchange rate.
- Wise: 1.5 EUR plus 0.45% of the amount, converted at the mid-market rate.
- PayPal: 2% of the amount, plus a 3% markup on the exchange rate.
- USDT via WorkTGT: 0.1% of the payout (min 0.5, max 5 USDT), network gas included. USDT is counted at 1 USD, plus a 0.15% spread when the recipient converts USDT to local currency.

What is the JPY to KRW exchange rate today?
This page shows the European Central Bank reference rate for JPY/KRW, updated every publication day. It is the mid-market rate: the midpoint between buy and sell, before any provider's markup.
What is the cheapest way to send money abroad?
It depends on the amount. Fixed fees dominate small transfers while exchange-rate markup dominates large ones. A 2.5% bank markup on a large payment costs far more than any flat fee. The table on this page computes both for the amount you are sending.
Where do these rates come from?
Rates come from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates, with the Russian rouble sourced from the Central Bank of Russia because the ECB stopped publishing it in 2022.
