How it’s calculated
  • The converted price uses a European Central Bank reference rate before exchange fees. The ECB usually updates its rates each working day.
  • Divide the yen price by the income in yen to find the percentage of that income the purchase takes. Apply that percentage to the comparison income to get the equivalent cost.

    When you enter a higher comparison income, the same percentage adds up to a larger amount. The converted price stays the same.

  • Divide the converted price by the comparison income to see what percentage of that income the purchase would cost.
