### Token Amount Conversion[​](https://docs.kyberswap.com/Legacy/api-abi/code-snippets/api_abi-tokenquantityconversion#token-amount-conversion) <a href="#token-amount-conversion" id="token-amount-conversion"></a>

Since `getExpectedRate` returns a rate, not the amount, the following code snippets show how to convert to both source and destination token amounts, taking their decimals into account.

#### `calcSrcQty`[​](https://docs.kyberswap.com/Legacy/api-abi/code-snippets/api_abi-tokenquantityconversion#calcsrcqty) <a href="#calcsrcqty" id="calcsrcqty"></a>

| Parameter     |                        Description                        |
| ------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------: |
| `dstQty`      |       ERC20 destination token amount in its decimals      |
| `srcDecimals` |                ERC20 source token decimals                |
| `dstDecimals` |              ERC20 destination token decimals             |
| `rate`        | src -> dst conversion rate, independent of token decimals |

**Returns:**\
ERC20 source token amount in its decimals.

**Javascript**[**​**](https://docs.kyberswap.com/Legacy/api-abi/code-snippets/api_abi-tokenquantityconversion#javascript)

```

function calcSrcQty(dstQty, srcDecimals, dstDecimals, rate) {
  const PRECISION = 10 ** 18;
  //source quantity is rounded up. to avoid dest quantity being too low.
  if (srcDecimals >= dstDecimals) {
    numerator = PRECISION * dstQty * 10 ** (srcDecimals - dstDecimals);
    denominator = rate;
  } else {
    numerator = PRECISION * dstQty;
    denominator = rate * 10 ** (dstDecimals - srcDecimals);
  }
  return (numerator + denominator - 1) / denominator; //avoid rounding down errors
}
