What is 4% cash back?

When a rewards program or credit card is offering 4% cash back, it means that for every $1 you spend you will earn 4 cents ($0.04) in the form of cash back.

How do you calculate 4% cash back?

You can calculate 4% cash back multiplying 0.04 by the amount you plan on spending. So if you spend $1,000, it would be $1,000 x 0.04 which equals $40.
