HiWiPay ROI Calculator: Compare Your Landed INR vs Bank/Fintechs

HiWiPay-ROI-Calculator-_Feature.

PUBLISHED

Every exporter knows their margins down to the decimal. Freight. Packaging. GST. But almost no one tracks the one cost that leaks silently every month — the money lost between “payment sent” and “INR credited.”

The banks call it an exchange rate. Fintechs call it a fee. You call it “close enough.” But it’s the difference between your revenue and your reality.

HiWiPay built the ROI Calculator for exactly that reason — to show exporters, agencies, and freelancers how much they’ve been losing to hidden FX spreads, SWIFT deductions, and fintech markups.

Because once you see the math, you can’t unsee it.

The Hidden Cost You Never Measured

When your client sends $10,000, your bank or PSP doesn’t just convert it — it reshapes it.

That one-rupee difference between ₹87.7 and ₹88.7 costs ₹10,000 on a $10,000 invoice. Over a year of $20,000 monthly inflows, that’s ₹2.4 lakh you’ll never see again.

The ROI Formula for Exporters

Your real ROI on export collections isn’t just how much you earn — it’s how much you keep.

ROI on Receipts = (Landed INR via HiWiPay / Landed INR via Old Method – 1) × 100

Example:
HiWiPay credits ₹8,81,700 while your bank credited ₹8,70,000.
ROI = (8,81,700 / 8,70,000 – 1) × 100 = 1.34% monthly improvement

That may sound small, but across $240,000 annual receipts, it’s nearly ₹2.9 lakh in recovered value.

And that’s before factoring faster settlements, auto-FIRC, and reconciliation hours saved.

ROI That Goes Beyond the Rate

HiWiPay’s ROI isn’t just about FX. It compounds through:

  • Time saved: Same-day (T+0 to T+1) settlements free your cash flow faster.
  • Compliance built-in: Digital FIRC and e-BRC are auto-generated, saving ₹1,000–₹2,000 in manual processing per transfer.
  • Clarity: Live mid-market rates remove guesswork from forecasting.
  • Control: All your transactions, currencies, and FIRCs live in one dashboard.

When you combine all of it, HiWiPay’s ROI isn’t theoretical — it’s measurable in hours, rupees, and sanity.

Why Most Exporters Never See This

Banks make their FX margin invisible by showing you “preferential rates.” Fintechs call their spreads “low-cost transfers.” Both rely on you not checking the math.

HiWiPay built transparency into its core. You see the live market rate before conversion, and your INR matches it. Every time.

The ROI Calculator quantifies that clarity. It turns every saved rupee into visible proof.

The Verdict

You can’t optimize what you don’t measure. The HiWiPay ROI Calculator shows exactly how much your current payment route costs you — in rupees, hours, and opportunities.

For exporters chasing scale, those invisible margins are the difference between growing fast and growing profitably.

HiWiPay doesn’t just help you earn more. It helps you keep more.

The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), 1999, governs foreign exchange transactions in India. It is designed to facilitate international trade while ensuring the stability of the foreign exchange market. For exporters, FEMA sets rules on receiving payment in foreign currency, repatriating funds, and maintaining proper documentation. It also requires that export earnings be realized within a specified timeframe and reported to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as per regulations. Following FEMA guidelines is essential for exporters to avoid penalties and ensure smooth international transactions.

The payment settlement time is less than 24 hours. Once the transaction is processed, the funds will be settled within a day.
