How the Estimator Works — Methodology
- Spend-weighted rewards: Multiplies monthly spend × 12 × card's reward rate for each category.
- Cashback caps applied: SBI Cashback ₹5,000/month, Axis Flipkart ₹4,000/quarter per partner. Actual cap-limited rewards shown.
- Fee waiver logic: If total annual spend ≥ threshold, annual fee is set to ₹0.
- Net savings: Yearly cashback − Effective annual fee. Cards ranked by this number.
- Effective rate: Net savings ÷ Annual spend × 100%.

FAQs — Cashback & Reward Points Calculator
How does the credit card cashback estimator work?
Enter your monthly spends across 7 categories (fuel, shopping, food, bills, travel, rent, other). The calculator computes annual cashback for each of 15 cards using actual reward rates, applies caps and fee waivers, then ranks by net savings (cashback minus annual fee). Results update instantly.
Is this credit card cashback estimator free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no registration, no personal data required. Just enter your spends and get instant results.
How accurate is the cashback estimator?
It uses actual reward rates from issuer T&C documents verified as of June 2026. It applies real cashback caps (e.g. SBI Cashback ₹5,000/month), quarterly caps (Axis Flipkart ₹4,000/quarter), and fee waivers. Actual cashback may vary slightly based on merchant MCC coding by your bank.
What is a cashback calculator for credit cards?
A cashback calculator shows how much cash you earn back from credit card spending across categories like fuel, groceries, and bills — after annual fees. This tool compares 15 Indian credit cards instantly.
How do I use this cashback calculator for India?
Enter your monthly spends across up to 7 categories. The calculator applies each card's reward rate, cashback caps, and fee waiver threshold, then ranks all 15 cards by net yearly savings for your spend pattern.
What is the difference between cashback and reward points on a credit card?
Cashback is credited as a statement balance reduction or direct bank credit. Reward points accumulate in a wallet and are redeemed for vouchers, travel, or products. This calculator converts both to an equivalent INR savings figure for fair comparison.
How does a credit card rewards calculator work?
A rewards calculator multiplies your monthly spend in each category by the card's reward rate, annualises the total, subtracts the annual fee (or zero if the fee waiver threshold is met), and shows net savings. This tool does that for 15 Indian cards simultaneously.
How do I calculate savings from a cashback credit card?
Net savings = (Annual Spend × Reward Rate) − Effective Annual Fee. If total annual spend crosses the fee waiver threshold, the annual fee is zero. Effective rate = Net Savings ÷ Annual Spend × 100. Use the calculator above to see this live for each card.
How should I compare annual fees, reward rates, and redemption caps?
Compare net savings, not headline rates. A card with a 5% headline rate but a ₹5,000/month cap may earn less than a 2% flat-rate card for high spenders. Fee waivers matter too — if your spend crosses the threshold, the annual fee is zero. This calculator applies all three factors automatically.
