# Sending £500 Home? Here’s What Actually Arrives 💷
Because of UK to Philippines money transfer fee,you send £500 to family in the Philippines. But how much actually lands in their account?
Here’s the honest breakdown:
**Your £500 becomes:**
– Minus bank fees (£10-20)
– Minus exchange rate markup (the real cost, not advertised)
– Minus receiving bank charges in the Philippines
– **Real amount: Often around £430-450**
That’s a difference of £50-70 your family never sees.
**Why does this matter?**
