Only the net exposure matters — costs in the same currency are a natural hedge. Moving 18,000 of costs into the currency you earn in removes that much exposure at no cost, which is the cheapest hedging available.
How the Exchange Rate Margin Calculator works
Costs in the same currency as your revenue are a natural hedge, so only the net exposure carries risk. Moving costs into the currency you earn in removes that much exposure at no cost, which is cheaper than any hedging instrument.

Frequently asked questions
What is net FX exposure?
Revenue in a foreign currency less costs in the same currency. Only the difference is exposed to rate movements.
What is a budget rate?
The exchange rate assumed when the plan was made. Variance against it is how FX impact is reported, and setting it conservatively avoids unpleasant reconciliations.
How do I create a natural hedge?
Source, manufacture or spend in the currency you earn in. A business selling in euros and buying in euros has no exposure at all.
Should I hedge the remainder?
If the exposure is material relative to profit, yes. Hedging buys certainty rather than profit, and a hedge that proves unnecessary was not a mistake.
