Whatever figure you calculate is shown in both currencies. To enter an exchange fee (commission) do Menu -> Settings -> Select a commission rate. The default is zero. When you enter a commission the exchange rate is adjusted to give you the amount net of the commission, with the commission you are paying shown in both currencies. Supports 146 currencies (everything in Yahoo Finance) plus Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium. The percent button works differently than a regular calculator (but it is more useful), it is used to subtract a discount.
