Rebate gap calculator

See the rebate you're leaving on the table.

Estimate the realized rebate gap between a bank-run program and one that works the whole file — across every supplier, not just the easy few.

Your program inputs

Supplier spend that could plausibly move onto card.

Roughly the easy slice your bank already enabled.

Where the file can land when the whole tail is worked.

Conservative blended anchor — your real rate comes from the diagnostic.

Illustrative estimate — your diagnostic produces the real numbers. Outputs are not guaranteed.

Honesty note. The default 1.2% rebate rate is a conservative blended anchor, not a guarantee. Figures here are illustrative — a paid diagnostic sizes the real opportunity against your actual supplier file.

What actually moves the number

The enrollment rate is the variable — not the rebate rate. Moving from roughly 12% to 40% of spend carded is the product: reaching the long tail your bank never contacted and getting suppliers to accept.

Why a conservative anchor

We default the rebate rate low on purpose. Programs stall on enablement reach and reconciliation, not price — so the honest lever is converting more spend onto card, then letting the diagnostic confirm your true realized rate.

Cost economics already favor the card — net commercial-card cost runs in basis points, not three percent.
