What points are worth.
What a balance is worth, and what it takes to book the flight or the night.
A point has no fixed price — it is worth whatever the booking it buys would have cost in cash, divided by the points it took. That figure ranges from about 0.4 cents for a Hilton point to roughly 1.7p for an Avios in a long-haul business seat. Judge every redemption in value per point, not in points.
Redeeming well comes down to one number: the cash price of the booking divided by the points it takes. The calculators here do that sum for Avios, AAdvantage, Alaska, Southwest, Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and IHG, each against a typical value drawn from published US and UK valuations, so you can tell a strong redemption from a weak one before you book.
Where a program still publishes an award chart, as Avios, Hyatt and several partner charts do, the tools price the redemption from the chart itself. Where awards track the cash fare, the guides explain why the value per point barely moves and what that means for holding a balance. If you are deciding between points and cash for a specific booking, start with the points-or-cash calculator.
What are Avios worth?
One Avios is typically worth about 1p, the working figure both the UK and US reference valuations settle near, so 10,000 Avios come to roughly £100. Weak via-hub economy redemptions land nearer 0.9p, while long-haul business can reach about 1.7p. The calculator converts any balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
ToolWhat can my points do?
Add your Amex Membership Rewards to your Avios, since they transfer to British Airways at 1:1, and compare the total with off-peak reward prices. A New York–London economy return is 55,000 Avios and business 176,000. The tool sorts trips into within reach now, one transfer away and not yet in reach.
ToolPoints or cash calculator
Value each point, add it to the cash part of every option, and the lowest total wins. At 1¢ a point, 38,300 points plus $609.20 costs $992.20, beating a $1,100 cash fare and every option with more points. The tool ranks each mix and shows what every extra step of points saves.
ToolWhat can my Virgin Points do?
Virgin Points book partner flights on fixed charts: Delta One between New York and London is 47,500 points one-way off-peak, Delta flights within the US start at 7,500, and ANA business from Los Angeles to Tokyo is 52,500. Amex, Chase, Bilt and Citi points transfer in at 1:1, and the tool sorts trips by what your balance reaches.
ToolMarriott points calculator
A Marriott Bonvoy point is typically worth about 0.73 cents, where the published valuations cluster after the 2026 devaluation, so 50,000 points come to roughly $365. A paid stay earns 10 points per $1 at most brands, plus 10% to 75% by status. The calculators value any balance and work out what a stay earns.
ToolAAdvantage miles calculator
On partner airlines, American prices awards on a published chart by region: one-way from the US, 30,000 miles in economy to Europe (22,500 off-peak), 57,500 in business, and 35,000 economy or 60,000 business to Japan. American's own flights are dynamic. An AAdvantage mile is worth about 1.5 cents, and the calculator prices any region and values any balance.
ToolHilton points calculator
A Hilton Honors point is typically worth about 0.4 cents after two consecutive devaluations, so 100,000 points come to roughly $400. A paid stay earns 10 base points per $1 at most brands, plus 20% (Silver) to 120% (Diamond Reserve). The calculators value any Hilton balance and work out what a stay earns.
ToolAvios calculator
The Avios calculator shows what a British Airways reward flight costs to or from London for 70 destinations: 10,000 Avios one-way to Paris in off-peak economy and 27,500 to New York. It covers peak dates, business class and returns, values the Avios, and estimates how many your spending earns.
ToolHyatt points calculator
Between 3,000 and 75,000 World of Hyatt points a night for a standard room, set by the hotel's category (1 to 8) and the date's demand tier (Lowest to Top) on the chart in force since 20 May 2026. A Category 4 hotel on a Moderate date costs 20,000. A Hyatt point is worth about 1.5 cents, and the calculator prices any stay and values any balance.
ToolIHG points calculator
An IHG One Rewards point is typically worth about 0.55 cents, between published valuations of 0.5 and 0.6 cents, so 100,000 points come to roughly $550. A paid stay earns 10 points per $1 at most brands, plus 20% (Silver) to 100% (Diamond). The calculators value any IHG balance and work out what a stay earns.
ToolSouthwest points calculator
A Southwest Rapid Rewards point is worth about 1.25 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $625, because awards are priced against the cash fare. A paid fare earns 2 to 14 points per $1 of base fare by fare type, plus 25% for A-List or 100% for A-List Preferred. The calculators value any balance and work out what a fare earns.
ToolAlaska miles calculator
Alaska prices awards from published charts by distance: 7,500 points one-way in economy for a flight like Seattle to Los Angeles, 12,500 from the West Coast to Hawaii, and in business 45,000 from New York to London on British Airways or 75,000 from Los Angeles to Tokyo on Japan Airlines. A point is worth about 1.5 cents; the calculator prices 22 routes.
