FX forward rate calculator

An FX forward locks in an exchange rate for a future date. Under covered interest parity the forward is set so that neither side gains from the interest-rate difference between the two currencies.

Forward rate

1.08836

Forward points
33.6 pips
Base trades at a forward premium
Annualised premium / discount
1.240%

1. Fórmula Matemática e Identidade de Precificação

Forward = Spot × (1 + r_quote × days ÷ basis_quote) ÷ (1 + r_base × days ÷ basis_base)

Forward points = Forward − Spot

2. Como Utilizar e Parâmetros de Entrada

Quote the pair as BASE/QUOTE, e.g. EUR/USD where EUR is the base. Enter the money-market rate for each currency and the number of days to settlement.

Most currencies use an ACT/360 day count; GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD and a few others use ACT/365.

If the quote currency has the higher interest rate, the forward trades at a premium to spot (positive points), and vice versa.

3. Premissas Prudenciais e Limitações do Modelo

  • Uses simple interest for periods up to a year, as in the money market. Longer tenors are normally priced off swap curves.
  • Ignores the cross-currency basis, which can move real forward prices away from textbook parity.

4. Perguntas Frequentes e Notas de Risco (FAQ)

What are forward points in pips?

Forward points are usually quoted in pips: multiply the price difference by 10,000 for most pairs, or by 100 for yen pairs.

Is the forward rate a forecast of the future spot rate?

No. It reflects the interest-rate difference between the two currencies, not an expectation of where spot will be.
