How It Works

This calculator helps you determine if your credit card's annual fee is justified by the rewards you earn.

  • Break-even spend is how much you need to spend yearly to earn rewards equal to the effective annual fee.
  • Effective annual fee = Annual fee minus any credits or benefits you'll actually use.
  • Net annual value = Value of points earned minus the effective annual fee.
