# About This Calculator
In the foreign exchange market, Currency Appreciation occurs when a currency's value increases compared to another. Conversely, Depreciation happens when its value falls.
It's important to keep track of the *Base* vs *Quote* currency. For example, if the EUR/USD rate goes from 1.10 to 1.20, the Euro has **appreciated** because one Euro now buys more Dollars. Consequently, the Dollar has **depreciated** relative to the Euro.
How To Use
- Enter the **Initial Exchange Rate** (Old Rate).
- Enter the **Current Exchange Rate** (New Rate).
- Identify your **Base Currency** (the "1" in the rate) and **Quote Currency**.
- The result will tell you exactly how much the Base currency gained or lost in value.
