Foreign income → USD converter

Your US return is filed in dollars. Convert foreign wages, interest, pension or business income to USD with an approximate IRS yearly-average rate — and see why your FBAR figure, which uses the Dec-31 rate, will look different.
Income, an FBAR balance and a one-off sale each use a different exchange-rate rule.

Approximate USD

$10,822.51

Using the 2024 IRS yearly-average rate of 0.924 EUR per 1 USD, as published in the IRS yearly-average table. Most income items on a US return (wages, interest, pension, business income) use this yearly-average method.

  • Verify before filing. Rates transcribed from the IRS table on 2026-08-25; the annual human re-verification is still pending — confirm the official IRS yearly-average rate for 2024 before filing.
  • FBAR is different. FinCEN 114 (FBAR) and Form 8938 generally use the Dec-31 year-end Treasury rate, not the yearly average — so your FBAR figure will not match this number.
  • You may also use a daily spot rate for a single transaction (e.g. a one-off capital-gain sale) if that is more accurate.

Educational estimate, not tax advice. Exchange rates and the IRS published averages change every year — always use the official figure for the year you are filing.

Before you rely on this result

What would settle it, and what covers it

Documents or facts needed

  • • The tax year

Simple · $299 — applies the yearly-average rates to the whole return.

How to read a status

Likely:
The facts entered meet the published test; confirm the inputs before acting.
Possible:
Some facts point this way and others are missing; more information decides it.
Needs review:
These inputs leave it open; a person should look before filing.
Not currently indicated:
Nothing entered triggers it this year; a changed fact can change the answer.
Outside supported scope:
This item is routed to a professional for preparation.

Scope. IRS yearly-average rates only; a specific transaction may use a spot rate. This is a computation on the answers you gave, not individualized tax advice.

What changes the result

This answer changes if…

Whether a U.S. return is required for a year

  • …your gross income for the year was at or above the filing threshold for your status and age — the threshold is not the standard deduction, and married-filing-separately is $5. Check it
  • …you had $400 or more of net self-employment income — self-employment is its own trigger, below any income threshold.
  • …you are married to a non-U.S. person — married-filing-separately is the default and its threshold is $5; an election to file jointly changes everything about the year.
  • …you held a green card at any point in the year — a green-card holder is a U.S. person for the whole year unless the card was formally surrendered.

Each line names a fact that moves the result; what it moves to depends on the rest of your facts. Nothing here is a determination.

How Atamatax calculations are produced — the tests applied, statutory sources and review cadence — is documented in the methodology, and how the engine is validated in accuracy & review. Calculation fixes are recorded in the changelog.
