Inside the calculation
What airlines won't tell you, we will.
BA's own calculator only shows what BA would credit. We model every variable that actually affects your earnings - across every programme that flight could feed.
01 - The accuracy edge
Spend, minus taxes
Avios are calculated from your actual ticket spend with taxes and carrier-imposed surcharges stripped out - the real earning base, not the headline fare. On a £2,500 transatlantic ticket, that is often £400+ that does not earn. We strip it. Other calculators do not.
02
Status multiplier
Your current Executive Club tier changes your earn rate. We apply the live BAEC multipliers for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Gold Guest List on every segment.
03
Cabin & fare class
Premium cabins earn more, but only on certain fare buckets. We use the actual booking class, not just the cabin you flew. Per leg, not per ticket.
04
Co-brand card multiplier
BA Amex and BA Amex Premium Plus earn additional Avios on BA spend. We layer the card-earn into your total. Most calculators do not.
05
Partner earning tables
Fly Qatar, Iberia, AA, JAL, Qantas, Finnair or any oneworld partner and the rules change. We map every partner table to every crediting programme.
06
Programme switching
One trip, every programme. See what the same booking would earn in AAdvantage, Qatar Privilege Club, Iberia Plus, Finnair Plus, and more - instantly.

Who it's for

Friction, removed
The five things everyone asks first.
Honest answers, not marketing.
"Isn't this just what ba.com tells me?"
No. ba.com shows what British Airways would credit. We show what every partner programme would credit for the same flight - plus the card and status multipliers BA's own calculator ignores.
"Why do I need to register to see the result?"
Because we save your flights, build your status forecast, and run AI recommendations against your actual profile. A one-off number is useless without context. Free account, no card, 30 seconds.
"Are you affiliated with British Airways?"
No, and we do not want to be. Independence is the point - we calculate against every programme honestly. Travel Smarter is not affiliated with British Airways, The British Airways Club, or any airline or alliance.
"How accurate are the calculations?"
We use each programme published earning rules and update them as airlines change them. Avios are calculated from spend minus taxes; Tier Points are zone-based per segment. Edge cases are flagged in the result.
"Is the free version actually useful?"
Yes. Unlimited calculator use, full wallet, full flight log, real-time tracking on one programme, and one active goal. Premium adds AI advice, multi-programme tracking, and Smart Search.
"What if my flight is on a partner like Qatar or Iberia?"
That is exactly when our calculator earns its keep. Pick the operating airline, then choose your crediting programme. We apply the correct partner table.
