IMPORT INSTEAD OF RE-TYPING
Import CSV. Export traceable EUR records.
Already have a list of incoming payments? Bring them into a structured workflow rather than converting every foreign-currency amount manually in a spreadsheet.
Assign rates in batches
Use ECB daily, BMF monthly or documented manual rates, then export an organised record of the converted amounts.
See the workflow →IBKR Activity Statements
Dedicated import for Interactive Brokers statements, linking transactions and foreign withholding taxes for tax preparation. Not included in Free or Pro.
Explore Pro + Tax →Note: Standard CSV import uses a supported template. Arbitrary broker exports are not automatically compatible with the general CSV importer.
The workflow
Three steps instead of handling every rate in Excel.
Import receipts with the supported CSV template, document the rate method for each entry, and export the result without re-typing every row.
Enter receipts
Enter receipts manually or import a CSV. Date, currency and original amount remain organised.
Assign rates
ECB daily, BMF monthly or a documented custom rate. Load missing rates in batches.
Export records
Export EUR values, methods and sources. Pro adds Excel, print/PDF and local project backups.

More than a currency converter
Why the receipt date matters.
For many types of taxable income, the general rule is the receipt principle: the relevant date is not necessarily the invoice, settlement or accrual date, but when the income is considered received for tax purposes.
The recorded date can matter for assigning income to a tax year. Foreign Income FX also uses it as the reference for your selected rate method. Instead of converting an annual total at one rate, each receipt is documented separately.
01
Tax year
The relevant receipt date may affect which tax year an amount belongs to.
02
Rate reference
The same date determines the reference period for ECB daily or BMF monthly rates in the tool.
Note: Section 11 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG) includes exceptions and special rules. The applicable rule and date depend on the income type and individual circumstances. Foreign Income FX does not make this tax assessment. Section 11 EStG (official German law) ↗

You choose the rate method. The tool records the date, method, source and EUR result together.
Transparency, not a black box
See exactly which rate method was used.
The tool does not silently select a tax method. The appropriate method depends on the tax situation; your records show which basis you used. View methodology & sources →
Foreign Income FX does not provide tax advice or determine which method is legally required for your individual circumstances.
ECB daily rate
Date-specific reference rates with a traceable fallback to a preceding available business day.
BMF monthly rate
Published historical data for 2010–2025 available offline; current data can be retrieved when needed.
Manual rate
Document your own rate source and rationale rather than saving a number without provenance.
Local-first
Your financial entries stay out of our cloud.
Your receipt and project data are processed locally in your browser. Online rate lookups transmit only the technical rate parameters required. Read more about official sources and rate selection in our methodology guide.

Who is it for?
When you need more than a single exchange rate.
✓ You have multiple receipts in USD, GBP, INR, CHF or other foreign currencies.
✓ You do not want to assemble each payment and rate source manually in Excel.
✓ You want to trace the rate and method used for every receipt later.
✓ You need a clean FX record, not an entire cloud-based tax platform.
Why I built Foreign Income FX
Built from my own tax workflow.
I originally built Foreign Income FX for myself. With several sources of foreign income in different currencies, what seemed like a simple conversion quickly became repetitive work: collecting receipts, finding the relevant exchange rates, converting amounts and keeping a traceable record.
Of course, you could build your own Excel spreadsheet. I wanted a focused tool for exactly this workflow – no account, no uploading financial entries, and traceable exchange-rate sources.
That personal tool became Foreign Income FX. I turned the reusable part into a standalone product.

FAQ
Any questions?
What to know before downloading.
When will Pro + Tax be available?
Pro + Tax is in development and cannot be purchased yet. Planned features include a dedicated IBKR importer, withholding tax and refund matching, and a traceable calculation of potentially creditable foreign taxes. Release date, price and final scope have not been announced.
Is Foreign Income FX tax-return software?
No. The product records, converts and documents foreign-currency receipts. It does not replace individual tax advice.
Which exchange rates are supported?
ECB daily rates, BMF monthly rates and documented manual rates.
Why does the tool ask for the receipt date?
The date is recorded for each receipt and serves as the time reference for your chosen rate method. For many types of income, the actual receipt date also matters for the tax year. The tool does not determine which rule applies in your case.
Does the tool automatically select the legally correct tax rate?
No. You select the method for your circumstances. The tool documents the rate, method and source used.
Are my financial records uploaded?
Your receipt and project data are processed locally in your browser. Online rate lookups require a technical connection to the rate service.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Unzip the download and open the included index.html in your browser.
What other modules are planned?
A country-independent foreign rental module is planned next. An India module for organising Indian income and tax documents is also planned. Crypto and other topics remain under consideration.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase.
