Inverse Currency Calculations Need to do inverse or reverse currency calculations? Currency+ can switch between standard and inverse currency conversion modes on the fly. Transaction Fees or Taxes Currency+ can factor in transaction fees (or tax) automatically. Individuals rarely convert money at published exchange rates - most banks and exchange offices charge a fee. Enter the transaction fee percentage to give you a better estimate of your 'real' conversion rates. Make the leap with Jump Gap Software's Currency+, the currency converter that takes you around the world and back.
