How the math works
How your estimate is calculated
We add the value this card could provide over two years, then subtract what it costs to keep.
Why two years?
Two years gives you a steadier view of the card’s ongoing value and cost than a single year. This is especially useful for cards with welcome offers or annual fees.
Your 2-year estimate

Counted in both years
Annual fees
First-year fee + ongoing annual fee
Estimated 2-year value
A planning estimate, not a guarantee.
We apply the card’s reward rate to the yearly spending you entered for each category. Spending above a category cap earns the card’s base rate, and the yearly rewards total is counted twice.
We subtract the card’s first-year fee and its ongoing annual fee. If the first-year fee is waived, the first year counts as $0.
