Calculating mile value: how the calculator works

Mile value doesn't come from a fixed table but from the specific flight: you compare the ticket's cash price with the miles needed plus taxes and fees. The result is the value in cents per mile — the only number that lets you truly compare offers.

Cents per mile

Ticket price minus co-payment, divided by the miles used. Below 1.0 cent an award booking rarely pays off; from about 1.5 cents it becomes clearly attractive in Business and First.

Fair purchase price

The calculator shows the break-even price per 1,000 miles. If an offer is below it, you save compared to the cash ticket — above it, you pay extra.

Taxes and fees

Surcharges vary widely by airline and departure country. They are included because they can halve the effective mile value in some programs.

Daily updated data

The stored values combine official award charts with real market prices from over 30 programs and are recalculated daily.
