Fuel Card Calculator

What a fuel co-branded card gives back on the spending you already do — and whether that beats its fee.

₹
₹

Subscriptions, food, shopping — anything you would put on the card.

The surcharge waiver only counts if you are paying the surcharge today. UPI and cash are not charged it, so for them the waiver cancels a cost the card brings, rather than saving anything.

₹26,500 a month on the card, ₹3,18,000 a year.

Yes

The card gives back about ₹1,282 a month, and the fee is waived at your spend. Worth carrying — you are not changing what you spend to earn it.

The gap between the two is what you keep. The first year runs ahead of the rest — that is the welcome benefit, and it comes once.
Your spend clears the quarterly milestone every quarter. Points are only earned where the card says they are — subscriptions, wallet loads and rent are commonly excluded, so check the terms before you count on them.
