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.
- Only sourced transfers marked confirmed or completed are included in ranked values and spending totals.
- Undisclosed fees are counted as recorded movements but are never assigned an estimated value.
- 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.
- Known net balance is calculated as known income minus known spending; positive values represent a surplus.
