How to Use the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) Calculator

This guide will walk you through the process of using the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) Calculator. Please ensure you have all necessary values ready for input.

Step 1: Enter the Amount in Base Currency

Begin by entering the amount you wish to convert. This is the sum of money you have in your base currency.

  • Locate the field labeled Amount in Base Currency.
  • Enter a value greater than or equal to 0.01 into the field.
  • This field is required, so ensure it is filled in accurately.

Step 2: Select the Base Currency

Next, choose the currency of the amount you entered. This will be where your conversion originates.

  • Find the Base Currency dropdown list.
  • Select your currency from the options: US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), or British Pound (GBP).
  • This field is mandatory to proceed with the calculation.

Step 3: Choose the Target Currency

Identify the currency you would like to convert your base amount into.

  • Look for the Target Currency dropdown menu.
  • Pick your desired target currency from the available choices: US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), or British Pound (GBP).
  • This selection is crucial for the conversion process and is required.

Step 4: Input the PPP Exchange Rate

The PPP exchange rate is an essential component for this calculation as it reflects the theoretical cost comparison between currencies.

  • Locate the field named PPP Exchange Rate.
  • Enter the PPP exchange rate value as a positive number greater than 0.000001.
  • This input is required for proceeding with the comparison.

Step 5: Enter the Market Exchange Rate

The market exchange rate provides the current rate at which the market exchanges one currency for another.

  • Locate the input field labeled Market Exchange Rate.
  • Type in the market exchange rate as a number greater than 0.000001.
  • This field is mandatory to complete the conversion calculations.

Step 6: View the Results

Once you have entered all the required information, the calculator will provide several useful outputs based on the provided data.

  • Check the PPP Converted Amount to see the amount converted using the PPP rate, formatted as a currency value with two decimals.
  • Review the Market Rate Converted Amount for the converted value using the current market exchange rate.
  • Observe the Difference (PPP vs Market) to find the monetary difference between the PPP conversion and the market rate conversion.
  • Note the Percentage Difference which indicates how much the two rates differ from each other, expressed as a percentage.
