About Japan Exchange Fee Calculator
Exchange costs arrive in three forms: a widened rate, a percentage commission and a per-transaction fee. Because the fixed fee repeats on every withdrawal, taking out money in small amounts is what usually dominates the total. Providers advertising "zero commission" recover it in the spread, so only the effective rate — what you received divided by what you handed over — is comparable.

Received = (amount − commission − fixed fees) × mid-market rate × (1 − spread)
- spread
- Margin the provider adds to the mid-market rate
