Know the AUD cost before an overseas purchase

The listed foreign price may not be the AUD debit. Currency conversion, card fees, shipping and merchant charges can each change the total. Enter prices and fees you know rather than relying on assumed store or card pricing.

Choose the right tool

• Overseas purchase calculator — price, shipping and card costs in one estimate.
• Pay in AUD or local currency — compare a merchant's AUD offer with a local-currency card scenario.
• USD subscription cost — monthly and annual recurring payments.
• Bank statement exchange rate — check an actual debit after purchase.

Three checks before checkout

Confirm which currency will be charged; check whether the card's foreign transaction fee applies even to an AUD transaction processed overseas; and include any shipping or tax quoted by the merchant. See our AUD transaction fee guide and currency choice guide.
