### 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)

```
// DISCLAIMER: Code snippets in this guide are just examples and you
// should always do your own testing. If you have questions, visit our
// https://t.me/KyberDeveloper.

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
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kyberswap.com/reference/legacy/api-abi/code-snippets/token-quantity-conversion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
