The PayPal USD to DKK exchange rate is 6.3043. This is -4% compared to the latest USD-DKK mid-market rate 6.5686.
As exchange rates can vary significantly between banks and also between currency exchange providers, it's therefore important to carefully compare US dollar (USD) to Danish krone (DKK) rates from different sources before making a conversion.
The PayPal Dollar to Krone comparison table above makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by PayPal and other foreign exchange providers against the latest USD-DKK mid-rate (see Market Data below ) and the possible savings of using various providers.
When you use the PayPal to make a foreign transfer the total cost will depend on how you pay, but generally you will be charged between 4%-7% percent of the total amount being converted depending on how you pay.
When you use a debit/credit card to pay for your transfer you will be charged an extra 3% when you load your PayPal wallet.
The base foreign exchange rate at which PayPal obtains foreign currency is determined by 3rd party financial institutions, and are adjusted regularly based on market conditions. The exchange rate that PayPal then provides you also includes a processing fee above the base rate.
The exchange rate provided by PayPal is fixed for each currency and does not change for small or large amounts.
If you use your credit card to send a payment, you can usually opt to use your credit card provider’s conversion rate instead of PayPal's.
If you choose to use MasterCard or Visa’s exchange rate, the applied conversion rate will be shown on your credit card statement, and not at the time of the transaction.
When you use the PayPal App in the US to send a payment to a different currency, you will be using Xoom, a PayPal Service.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Danish krone:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Danish krone with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/DKK exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

For expats, Denmark is known for its high standard of living, excellent healthcare and education system, and strong economy. The country is also home to a diverse expat community, and major cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus offer a vibrant international community. However, the cost of living in Denmark can be relatively high, especially in major cities like Copenhagen. The weather in Denmark can be quite cold in the winter and quite cool in the summer with the occasional periods of rain throughout the year.
The language might be a barrier for some expats, as Danish is not widely spoken as a second language. However, in major cities like Copenhagen, most people do speak English fluently, and most official forms, documents and customer services are available in English.
