When you buy United Arab Emirates dirham, the exchange rate you get is the amount of United Arab Emirates dirham you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 4.6511 means you'd get Dhs 4.6511 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of United Arab Emirates dirham you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling United Arab Emirates dirham, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many United Arab Emirates dirham you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 4.6511 means you'd need to sell Dhs 4.6511 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of United Arab Emirates dirham, you need to divide the United Arab Emirates dirham amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
