Compare Marriott points vs cash for your stay.
Supports multi-currency calculations via live FX.
Based on the median of our selected valuation sources, Marriott points are currently worth about 0.76¢ per point. A practical range is roughly 0.68–0.84¢/pt, but your real value varies with cash rates, seasonality, taxes/fees, and outsized redemptions like the fifth night free.

Use this calculator to see if it's worth using your Marriott points.
Enter the same stay or night in both fields, using the exact same room and dates for the cash and points price.
Current baseline rates and the valuation sources behind them.
Use this as a quick check before purchasing points.
Only when your stay gives 1.0 cents per point or more.
Between 0.90 and 0.99 cents per point, it may be worth a small top-up if cash rates are unusually high or you are just short of points.
Below 0.90 cents per point, paying cash is usually better.
You can purchase up to 100,000 points per year.
This table uses the current median valuation (0.76¢/pt) and a practical low/high range (0.68–0.84¢/pt).

CPP rises when cash prices spike or when points prices lag behind demand. It falls when cash rates are low or when award pricing climbs.
On some award stays, booking five consecutive nights entirely on points may price the fifth night at zero points. That can materially increase your value per point on longer stays.
Marriott pricing can move quickly. Event weekends, holidays, and high-occupancy dates can swing either cash or points prices (or both).
Compare like-for-like totals. If your cash price includes taxes and mandatory fees, use that same all-in total when calculating CPP.
Airline transfers and experiences can sometimes beat hotel redemptions, but results vary. For most travelers, hotel bookings are the most consistent way to compare cash vs points.
Use totals for the same stay so the comparison is apples-to-apples.
Use the full cash amount for the stay (ideally including unavoidable taxes/fees) and the points required for the same room and dates.
The calculator shows your CPP and compares it against the current median valuation band. Above the band, points tend to be a better deal.
If you are in the neutral zone, consider flexibility (refundable cash rates), upcoming redemptions, and whether the fifth night free applies.
Double-check that your cash total includes the same taxes/fees you will actually pay, confirm the points price is for the same room type, and watch for nightly rate variance across multi-night stays.
A few realistic scenarios to sanity-check the calculator output.
When cash runs higher for the same points price, CPP can land in the excellent range.
When cash and points are in line with the median, the result often sits in the neutral band.
When cash is low relative to the points price, paying cash is usually better.
Concise answers that stand alone.
We treat the page Median CPP as the baseline value per point. It is computed as the median of the selected third-party valuations (shown in the valuation sources list inside the calculator).
We show a practical low/high range using the calculator neutral band (currently 0.68-0.84 cents/pt). Real-world value varies by seasonality, cash-rate spikes, taxes/fees included in the cash total, and quirks like the fifth night free.
