How We Calculate Estimated Value

This calculator estimates annual rewards by:

  • Annualizing your monthly spending inputs ($ Input × 12).
  • Applying the card's reward multipliers for each category, referencing detailed card data.
  • Accounting for annual spending caps on specific reward categories where applicable.
  • Calculating the monetary value of points based on estimated Cents Per Point (CPP) for the selected redemption strategy (e.g., cash back, travel portal, transfer partners). You can change the strategy above the spending inputs.
  • Estimating the annual value of key card perks like travel credits or anniversary points.
  • Subtracting the card's annual fee.
  • Adding the estimated value of the sign-up bonus for the "1st Year Net Value" calculation.

These are estimates designed for comparison. Your actual value depends on precise spending and redemption choices.
