Rewards Budget Calculator
Plan your rewards budget with confidence and see how it translates into coins, engagement, and real spend.
Matter gives you full control over your rewards budget, and you only pay for rewards employees redeem. Enter your team size to estimate total cost. Coin recommendations factor in typical redemption rates, so your actual spend stays aligned with your budget.

Monthly recognition allowance
Set how much each employee can give in recognition each month. This amount is converted into weekly coins to encourage consistent, timely recognition.
We see the best engagement and participation at $5-$10 or more per person per month.
Celebrations
Automatically reward birthdays and work anniversaries with coins. Birthdays use a fixed coin amount, while work anniversaries can be customized by year to recognize milestone moments.
Your actual cost stays predictable
Coins reset weekly by default, so employees recognize great work consistently rather than dumping them all at the end of the month/quarter. And since you only pay when coins are redeemed — and on average only 33% are redeemed each month — your spend naturally stays well within budget.
