Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your savings:

Savings Estimate Formula

Savings = (Monthly Spending × Rebate Rate) × Number of Months

Where:

Monthly Spending = Your estimated monthly spending at home improvement stores
Rebate Rate = The percentage rebate you expect to earn (e.g., 1.5%)
Number of Months = How long you plan to use the card

For example, if you spend $500 per month at home improvement stores, earn a 1.5% rebate, and use the card for 12 months, your estimated savings would be:

Example Calculation

Savings = ($500 × 0.015) × 12 = $90

Worked Example

Let's look at a practical example to see how the calculator works.

Example Scenario

Monthly spending at home improvement stores: $600
Rebate rate: 2%
Duration: 6 months

Using the formula:

Calculation

Savings = ($600 × 0.02) × 6 = $72

This means you could potentially save $72 over 6 months by using the Wells Fargo Home Rebate Card.

Month	Spending	Rebate Earned	Cumulative Savings
1	$600	$12	$12
2	$600	$12	$24
3	$600	$12	$36
4	$600	$12	$48
5	$600	$12	$60
