Cents-per-mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.
