Figures are estimates based on the spending you entered, assumed steady across the year, using standard Merchant Category Code (MCC) classifications and each issuer’s published rates. Monthly caps, annual fees and minimum-spend requirements are shown on every row and factored into the projections. Not modelled: promotional sign-up bonuses, merchant-specific exclusions, fee waivers beyond the first-year window shown, and future rate changes by issuers. First-year figures assume a new cardholder eligible for introductory rates; ongoing figures reflect post-introductory rates. Standard merchant coverage estimates are based on Singapore market share; you can adjust them in the settings above.
Actual earnings depend on your eligibility and each bank’s current terms, which may differ from the figures shown here — always verify with the issuer before applying.
