Is the annual fee worth it?

Pick a card and WalletFlo adds up its recurring credits and perk value, then compares them to the annual fee — so you can see if it pays for itself.

The annual-fee math

A premium card's fee often looks scary until you tally what comes with it: travel credits, dining credits, statement credits, lounge access, and elite perks. Many cards more than cover their fee in credits alone — if you remember to use them. This tool does the tally; the catch is the "if".

Credits only count if you use them

Billions in card credits expire unused every year because they reset on schedules nobody tracks. WalletFlo watches every credit and perk on your cards and reminds you before they reset — turning the value in this calculator into money you actually keep. Get the app.

Questions

How do I know if an annual fee is worth it?

Add up the recurring credits and perks you'll actually use and compare to the fee. If they already exceed it, the card pays for itself before rewards.

Should I count perks I won't use?

No — only count what you'll realistically use. WalletFlo reminds you before credits expire so the value actually gets captured.
