Free Travel Hack – Currency Converter Cheat Sheet Printable

While travelling wouldn’t it be great to have a currency converter cheat sheet that is printable so you can quickly figure out the purchase price in your own currency?

This free wallet-sized Currency Converter Cheat Sheet printable is the perfect solution for international travellers. The ability to do the math and calculate currency conversions in my head is not one of my talents so I devised this simple travel hack.

If you are like me you may have found yourself in one of these situations:

• Have you been on the spot negotiating for an item at a market and are unsure if it is worth the price or not?
• Have you felt pressured as you try to decide whether you are willing to pay the price listed for a specific service?
• Do you want to know what the cost is in your own currency before making a decision?

If your answer is yes, create your own free online currency converter for travellers.

Pocket Sized Currency Converter (online)

Whenever I travel to a country with a different currency than my own, I create a pocket guide wallet card as a quick reference.  You could also take a picture and save it on your phone if you don’t want to print a hard copy.

For example, below is one printable currency converter I created when I was travelling to Mexico and I’ll explain how you can create your own.

After you press the “Convert” button the conversion rate will automatically calculate. In the example below 1 Canadian Dollar converts to 0.67162709 Euros.

Open the Currency Converter Cheat Sheet. In the yellow box enter the conversion rate. In this example, if your currency was Canadian dollars, you would enter 0.67162709 in the yellow foreign currency box. The “Multiplier” should auto calculate.

Go back to https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter and this time select USD in the “From” drop down list.

Go back to your Currency Converter Cheat Sheet and in the “blue” box enter in the exchange rate for 1 USD. In this example, you enter the exchange rate of 0.91903557 Euros for $1 USD. The multiplier data will auto calculate for you.

Step #3 Update the free Currency Converter Cheat Sheet (Printable)

I have prepopulated the foreign currency amounts in the first column of the Currency Converter Cheat Sheet but you can change the foreign currency amounts to whatever you would like. Typically, I enter common values of the foreign currency in the country you are visiting. The conversions to your own currency and USD will automatically recalculate when you change the foreign currency amounts.

Update the labels on the Currency Converter Cheat Sheet with the currency symbols and names of both the foreign currency that you are converting to and your own currency.

Step #4 Print your free online currency converter

You can either print the pocket size currency converter, cut it out and keep it in your wallet or take a picture and keep it on your phone. In only a couple of minutes you have a currency converter for your next trip.

I would recommend that you wait until close to your departure date before updating the current currency exchange values so it is close to the same value as when you are travelling.
