Multi-Currency
Track Spending in Any Currency
Receiptix records every expense in the currency you actually paid in, so you can mix currencies freely: a trip abroad, business in another country, or a life split between two. The original amount is always kept exactly as entered, and totals are converted into one base currency.
How It Works
Personal Receipts
Your personal expenses can be in any mix of currencies. Totals and reports convert them to your default currency, which you set in Settings.
Project Receipts
Each project has a base currency, chosen when the project is created. Its expenses can still be in any currency, and the project's totals and reports convert them to the base currency.
How the Currency Is Set
Wherever the currency can't be worked out, Receiptix uses your default currency, or the project's currency when you're in a project. You can change the currency on any expense.
- Scanned receipts -- the AI reads the currency from the receipt itself: the symbol or code, the store's address, how prices are written, and the receipt's language. The default is used only when the receipt gives no clue at all.
- Voice and text -- say the currency, as in "300 baht for lunch". If you don't, the default is used.
- Manual entry -- the currency field starts with the currency of your most recent expense, so a run of expenses abroad doesn't need it picked every time.
- Editing -- change an expense's currency at any time, and its converted amount follows.
Exchange Rates
- Each expense is saved with the exchange rate for its purchase date, taken from daily reference rates. If you change the expense's date or currency, the rate is looked up again.
- Rates are set automatically. You can't enter a rate of your own.
- Converted amounts in the app are approximate, which is why an expense's details screen shows its converted total with a ≈ sign. When the numbers have to be exact, use the Expense Report PDF, which converts each expense at the rate for its own purchase date, or a report filtered to one currency, which converts nothing at all.
Currencies in Reports
- Base currency -- reports convert every expense to the base currency, so the totals add up across currencies.
- Currencies tab -- when a period has expenses in two or more currencies, Reports adds a Currencies tab. It shows each currency's total in that currency, with the converted amount and its share of your spending. Tap a currency to see its expenses.
- Currency filter -- to see one currency on its own, open the filter in Reports and pick it under Currency. The whole report then covers only that currency's expenses, in that currency, so nothing is converted and the numbers are exact. The filter appears once a period has any expense outside the base currency.
Tips & Details
- Original amounts are always stored exactly as you enter them. Converting never changes them.
- Great for travelers, international business, and expat life. Record a lunch in euros, a taxi in pounds, and groceries in dollars, all in the same place, with unified totals.
