Please take this in the spirit it is intended.

If the amount of money sent = S and the amount of money received = R

Then

R = S - 0.2 - (S x 3.6%)
So

R + 0.2 = S(1 - 0.036)

Which means that

S = (R + 0.2) / 0.964

That is all assuming the 3.6% is charged on the 20p fixed charge which I assume it will be.

Much easier to use the web site to calculate it for you.
And yes I am a bit of a geek.
