Estimate how EUR/USD exchange rate movements affect your international investments and currency exposure.
FX Impact Calculator helps Irish investors understand how currency fluctuations between EUR and USD affect the value of their international investments.
Enter your investment amount and time horizon to see how different EUR/USD scenarios impact your returns. The tool shows historical context and projected ranges.
All calculations are estimates based on historical data and assumptions. Currency markets are volatile and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Breaking down investment return vs FX impact
See how different EUR/USD outcomes affect your returns
10-year annual average range: 1.05 – 1.18 · Average: 1.11
Dotted lines show your start rate (1.05), end rate (0.95), and the 10-year average (1.11). Since 2022, EUR/USD has been in a lower range influenced by ECB monetary policy and USD strength.
Start with the amount you plan to invest in USD-denominated assets, your expected annual return in USD terms, and the investment timeframe in years.
The starting rate reflects today's EUR/USD exchange rate (~1.05 in 2026). The ending rate is your projection — will EUR strengthen (rate rises) or weaken (rate falls) over your investment horizon?
The calculator isolates the pure currency effect from your investment returns. You'll see the USD growth, the EUR-equivalent value at the projected rate, and the €-amount gained or lost purely from exchange rate movement.
With EUR/USD trading around 1.05 in 2026, Irish investors holding US stocks face a material currency risk. The 10-year average of 1.11 masks a wide range of 1.05–1.18, meaning FX moves of 10-15% are normal over multi-year periods.
For an Irish investor with a $10,000 US stock portfolio returning 10%/yr over 5 years, the FX impact at your projected rate of 0.95 amounts to €1,610 — that's real money that compounds alongside your investment returns.
Currency risk is one of the most overlooked factors in international investing. Use this calculator to stress-test your assumptions and decide whether currency-hedged ETFs, diversification, or simply staying the course is right for your portfolio.
