Methodology

FX Rates

Rates are fetched server-side from exchange-rate providers with fallback chains. Cached hourly in-memory. When all providers fail, the converter shows an error — we never fabricate rates.

Macro Indicators

IMF and World Bank data is fetched daily and cached for 24 hours. Figures are annual and may lag the current year. IMF is preferred for inflation/GDP growth; World Bank fills gaps.

Remittance Estimates

Fee percentages come from World Bank SI.RMT.COST.IB.ZS (average cost to send remittances to a destination country). Sender labels (USA, UK, etc.) are for context only — the fee applied is the destination-country average, not a corridor-specific operator quote. Cached 7 days; offline benchmarks used if the API is unavailable.
