Cents per point, computed
Every redemption, priced to the cent.
Enter what a flight or hotel stay costs in cash and what it costs in points, and get back what each of your points was worth — free, in a second, no account. It’s the same arithmetic the award-travel community already uses, with every variable it used shown on the page.
A worked cents-per-point example
- Program
- AA AAdvantage
- Points spent
- 57,500
- Cash fare
- $1,043.20
- Cash paid on award
- $5.60
($1,043.20 − $5.60) ÷ 57,500 × 100
1.80¢per point
The $5.60 in cash you paid at booking is subtracted before the division — it's money the points didn't buy you. Skipping that step is the most common way a redemption gets overvalued.
Every variable is labelled
Nothing is folded into a constant you can't see or change. If a figure went into the answer, it's on the page.
The formula is shown
Every tool states its method and cites a primary source. You can check the arithmetic by hand, and we'd rather you did.
No accounts, no card rankings
Nothing you enter is stored or sent anywhere. We value redemptions; we don't tell you which card to sign up for.
Price any redemption to the cent: cash fare, minus the cash you paid at booking, divided by the points you spent.
