Know what yourpoints are worth
Cents per point (CPP) is the simplest way to judge a redemption. It tells you how many cents of value each point buys, so you can see at a glance whether an award is a smart deal or a waste of miles.
Enter the cash fare, the points required, and any taxes or surcharges. The calculator strips out the fees, divides by your points, and grades the result against typical valuations.
Four quick steps
Look up the cash fare
Pull the normal cash price for the exact same flight from Google Flights or the airline site. That is your comparison baseline.
Add the points needed
Enter the total miles or points the award booking asks for, including any you would transfer in from a partner.
Include fees and taxes
Type in any surcharges, taxes, or award fees you would still pay on the points booking, so the value stays honest.
