If you receive a payment for a foreign currency invoice in your local currency, you can use the Currency Calculator to calculate the exchange rate based on the foreign and local amounts, or to calculate the foreign amounts based on the local amounts and the exchange rate.

You can access the Currency Calculator from any window in your AccountEdge software by going to the Help menu and choosing Currency Calculator.
