Formulas and rate assumptions used in this calculator
Remaining = £500 threshold minus what you have already processed. Days needed = remaining ÷ weekly takings × 7, rounded up. Projected = weekly takings × 8.6 weeks plus takings so far.
Refunds, chargebacks and non-reader payments may not count. Always read the official offer terms before relying on this estimate.

The qualifying rules this tool models are set out in full on the cashback offer page, including the conditions that most often cause a claim to fail.
A promotion should never decide the choice on its own. Check the ongoing cost with the fee calculator and the Tide plan calculator, and read how card reader fees work so you can weigh a one-off reward against twelve months of rates.
The readers themselves are covered in the Tide Card Reader hub, alternatives on the comparison page, and how we are paid in the advertising disclosure.
