This calculator adds recurring and percentage fees, then discounts cashback so optimistic reward claims do not dominate the result. USDT.
Decision framework
Use this calculator before loading money onto a crypto-funded card for travel spending.
Crypto card cost is usually a stack of small costs: funding, conversion spread, card spend fee, ATM fee, recurring plan cost and uncertain rewards. Model rewards conservatively instead of treating them as certain.
USDT-funded travel month
A traveler planning 1,000 USD of card spend, a 2% FX cost, a 1% spending fee, a 5 USD monthly fee and a 50% cashback haircut can compare the net cost with a bank or multi-currency card before using the crypto card as the primary option.
Before trusting the result
- Confirm card issuer country support and KYC requirements.
- Check whether rewards apply to your merchant categories.
- Keep a bank or multi-currency card as backup.
- Do not keep all travel funds with one crypto provider.
