How do you calculate credit card cashback value?

Annual cashback = monthly spending x cashback rate x 12. Subtract annual fee for net value. Example: $3,000/month x 2% x 12 = $720 cashback. $95 fee = $625 net value.

When does a higher annual fee cashback card pay off?

Premium cashback cards with $250-$550 annual fees typically require $30,000-$60,000 in annual spending to justify costs over a simple no-fee 2% card.
