Receiving EUR in United States
Whether you're a freelancer, contractor, or small business in United States, receiving EUR payments involves currency conversion. The total cost depends on the payment method, the provider's exchange rate, and any fixed fees.
Use the calculator above to see exactly how much you'll receive in USD after all fees and exchange rate markups.
Best Methods for the EUR → USD Corridor
Wise
Wise typically offers the best rate for EUR to USD transfers, using the mid-market rate with a small transparent fee. Ideal for regular freelance payments.
PayPal
PayPal is convenient but adds a 3–4% FX spread on top of its 4.49% fee. For a $1,000 payment, this corridor could cost $70–80+ via PayPal.
Bank Transfer
SWIFT transfers are reliable for large amounts but slow (3–5 days) with flat fees and hidden exchange rate markups.
