How to Use This Calculator

To use the Sapphire Reserve Card Calculator:

  4. Review the results and adjust your spending strategy as needed.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your rewards:

Estimated Points = (Annual Spending × Rewards Rate) + Bonus Points

Where:

  • Annual Spending - Your estimated annual spending with the card
  • Rewards Rate - The percentage of spending that converts to points (varies by category)
  • Bonus Points - Any additional points from sign-up bonuses or promotions

The rewards rate varies by spending category. For example:

Category Rewards Rate
Travel 3x points
Dining 3x points
Groceries 3x points
All Other Spending 1x points

Worked Example

Let's say you spend $20,000 annually with the Sapphire Reserve card, with $10,000 on travel, $5,000 on dining, and $5,000 on groceries. Your remaining spending is $5,000.

Using the rewards rates:

  • Travel: $10,000 × 3 = 30,000 points
  • Dining: $5,000 × 3 = 15,000 points
  • Groceries: $5,000 × 3 = 15,000 points
  • Other: $5,000 × 1 = 5,000 points

Total estimated points: 30,000 + 15,000 + 15,000 + 5,000 = 65,000 points

If you also earn a $200 sign-up bonus (50,000 points), your total would be 115,000 points.
