I have a PHP textBox that allows user to input an amount

<input id="inputAmount" type="number" class="form-control" name="amount" required>

and a label to display a message.

<label id="Message" style="display:none">
   'ExchangeRate is ' . $Rate . 'and converted amount is '. $ConvertedAmount
</label>

and this is my concept of a JavaScript for calculation

<script>
    $("#inputAmount").change(function(){
        var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;
        return ConvertedAmount;
    });
</script>

How should I do for making it work to show an instant converted result to the user?

put the content of your php variable inside the input then get the value of input using javascript then go to your javascript calculation. like this.

<input id="inputAmount" type="number" class="form-control" name="amount" required>

<input id="rate" type="hidden" class="form-control" value="<?php $Rate ?>">

then your javascript code

<script>
    $("#inputAmount").change(function(){
        var Rate = document.getElementById('rate').value;
        var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;
        return ConvertedAmount;
    });
</script>

JavaScript needs to be able to see the rate, so:

<input type="hidden" id="rate" value="<?php echo $Rate; ?>" />

Then as the input is typed, use the keyup event:

$("#inputAmount").on('keyup', function(){
    // Get the rate
    var Rate = $('#rate').val();

    // Get the input amount
    var inputAmount = $(this).val();

    // Do calculation
    var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;

    // Change the message
    $('#Message').text('ExchangeRate is ' + Rate + ' and converted amount is ' + ConvertedAmount);
});

Here it is in action without the PHP bits.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="inputAmount" type="number" class="form-control" name="amount" required>
<label id="Message"></label>
<script>
var rate = 1.5 //inserted with PHP
$("#inputAmount").change(function(){
    var inputAmount = this.value;
    var ConvertedAmount = rate * inputAmount;
    var text = 'ExchangeRate is '+rate+' and converted amount is ' + ConvertedAmount;
    $('#Message').text(text);
});
</script>

And the PHP would look like

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id="inputAmount" type="number" class="form-control" name="amount" required>
<label id="Message"></label>
<script>
var rate = <?php echo $rate; ?> //inserted with PHP
$("#inputAmount").change(function(){
    var inputAmount = this.value;
    var ConvertedAmount = rate * inputAmount;
    var text = 'ExchangeRate is '+rate+' and converted amount is ' + ConvertedAmount;
    $('#Message').text(text);
});
</script>

I think it will solve your problem.

<label id="Message" style="display:none">
   'ExchangeRate is <i id='rate'></i> and converted amount is <i id='convertedAmount'></i>
</label>

Your Javascript

<script>
    $("#inputAmount").change(function(){
        var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;
         $("#convertedAmount").html(ConvertedAmount);
         $("#rate").html(Rate);
    });
</script>

$("#inputAmount").change(function(){
    var Rate = <?php echo $rate; ?>
    var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;
    document.getElementById('Message').innerHTML = 'ExchangeRate is ' + Rate + 'and converted amount is ' +  ConvertedAmount ;
});

I think you should try this:

<input type="hidden" id="Rate" value="{{$Rate}}" />



$("#inputAmount").on('keyup', function(){
    // Get the Rate value
    var Rate = $('#rate').val();

    // Get the inputAmount value
    var inputAmount = $(this).val();

    // Multiplication
    var ConvertedAmount = Rate * inputAmount;


    $('#Message').text('ExchangeRate is ' + Rate + ' and converted amount is ' + ConvertedAmount);
});
