Remittance calculator Kuwait
Enter the dinars you send, the fee and the rate the exchange company offers. You see what arrives and how much less it is than at the official rate.
The comparison uses the Central Bank of Kuwait rate for India, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and more.
How it's calculated
- The fee comes off the amount you send.
- The rest is converted at the rate you enter, or at the CBK rate if you leave it at zero.
- The cost is the difference with sending the whole amount at the CBK rate, as a share of that amount.
An example
Sending KD 100 to India with a KD 1 fee at the CBK rate of KWD 0.003294 per rupee gives about 30,518 rupees, around 1% less than the full amount at the official rate.
