When a rewards card or program is offering 1% cash back, it means that you will earn 1 cent for every $1 you spend.

How do you calculate 1% cash back?

You can easily calculate 1% cash back by multiplying 0.01 by the amount you plan on spending. So if you spend $1,000, it would be $1,000 x 0.01 which equals $10.
