Methodology

Version fees-v3-canonical-eur

Figures are generated from a validated, versioned snapshot. A later correction creates a new snapshot without removing the previous record.

  1. Only sourced transfers marked confirmed or completed are included in ranked values and spending totals.
  2. Undisclosed fees are counted as recorded movements but are never assigned an estimated value.
  3. Only the canonical recorded EUR fee is used, consistently with TransferNews market totals. Fees in other currencies remain excluded from EUR totals until a sourced EUR value is recorded; no reference exchange rates or undisclosed-fee estimates are applied.
  4. Known net balance is calculated as known income minus known spending; positive values represent a surplus.
