Currencies and exchange rates

You can issue an invoice in any currency. When you do, we also record what one unit of that currency was worth in your home currency on the day you issued it.

That snapshot is what every revenue figure, chart and export reads. Without it, an invoice billed in dollars would be counted as though the number were rupees — and a revenue total that adds rupees to dollars is worse than no total at all.

The one that reflects what you will actually receive, not the mid-market rate you see on a search engine. Those are different numbers and the difference is real money.

If you are not sure, the FX & tax calculator under Tools shows you what lands in your account after conversion and fees.

The invoice is treated as billed in your home currency, so the total is taken at face value. That is correct for domestic work and wrong for anything else.
