The Miles to Dollars Calculator values airline reward miles; it is not a mileage-reimbursement calculator.

How it works

Equivalent award price = reward miles × cents per mile ÷ 100 + cash fees. Choose an airline preset or enter a custom cents-per-mile value, then compare the award equivalent with the cash-only ticket price.

Example

At 1.5 cents per mile, 40,000 miles are worth 600 dollars. A booking that costs 172,000 miles plus 349 dollars has an equivalent price of 2,929 dollars at the same valuation.

Interpretation

The cents-per-mile figure is a valuation assumption, not a guaranteed redemption price. Compare the equivalent award price with the actual cash fare for the booking you are considering.
