Understanding Chipotle Rewards
How Points Are Earned
The Chipotle Rewards program is designed to reward you for every purchase. The calculation is straightforward:
- Base Points: You earn 10 points for every $1 spent on the pre-tax amount of your order. This calculator automatically rounds down to the nearest whole point, as fractions of points are not awarded.
- Bonuses: Chipotle frequently offers bonus opportunities like "Extra Points Days" which double your base points, or "Challenges" in the app which award a fixed number of points upon completion.
Chipotle Reward Tiers
Once you've collected enough points, you can redeem them for free items. This calculator tracks your progress toward these common tiers:
- 425 Points: Free Guac or Queso Blanco
- 600 Points: Free Fountain Drink
- 625 Points: Free Chips
- 1625 Points: Free Entrée
Note: Reward tiers and point values are subject to change. Always check the official Chipotle app for the most current information.

Scenario: You are starting with no points and buy a burrito bowl.
1. Inputs: Current Points: `0`, Order Cost: `$11.25`, Bonuses: None.
2. Calculation:
- Base Points: $11.25 x 10 = 112.5 -> `112` points.
- Bonus Points: `0`.
- New Total: 0 + 112 = `112` points.

Example 2: Extra Points Day
Scenario: You take advantage of a double points promotion.
1. Inputs: Current Points: `200`, Order Cost: `$15.00`, Bonuses: `Extra Points Day` checked.
2. Calculation:
- Base Points: $15.00 x 10 = `150` points.
- Bonus Points: `150` (for the double points offer).

- New Total: 1300 + 105 + 250 = `1655` points.
3. Result: You now have 1,655 points, enough to redeem for a Free Entrée!

Frequently Asked Questions (10)
1. Is this an official tool from Chipotle?
No, this is an independent, fan-made calculator for estimation purposes. For official point balances and program rules, always consult the official Chipotle app or website.
2. Do I include sales tax or tips in the order cost?
No. You only earn points on the pre-tax subtotal of your order. Do not include taxes, delivery fees, or tips, as they do not generate points.
3. How does the "Extra Points Day" bonus work?
This bonus doubles the base points earned from your order's cost. For example, a $10 order that normally earns 100 points would earn an extra 100 bonus points, for a total of 200 points for that transaction.
4. What if I forget my current point balance?
You can leave the "Current Rewards Points" field blank or enter `0`. The calculator will then show you only the points you'll earn from your new purchase.
5. Can I earn points on catering orders?
Yes, you can typically earn points on catering orders. Enter the pre-tax cost of the catering order into the calculator to see your potential point earnings, which can be substantial.
6. Does the calculator save my information?
No. This tool is completely private and stateless. It does not store or transmit any of your data. Each time you visit, you will need to re-enter your information.
7. Why does my official point balance sometimes differ slightly?
This tool uses the standard public rules (10 points/$1). Discrepancies can arise from special, targeted promotions not listed here, or slight variations in how rounding is handled by the official system. The official Chipotle app is always the source of truth.
8. How is my "Next Reward" progress calculated?
The tool checks your new total against a list of common reward tiers. It shows how many more points are needed to reach the *next* tier you haven't yet achieved. If you have enough for the highest reward shown, it will congratulate you.
9. What happens if I enter text instead of a number?
The input fields are set to accept numbers only. If invalid data is entered, the calculator will treat it as `0` to prevent errors and ensure the tool remains functional.
10. Why was this tool built with this specific code structure?
This tool is designed as a single, self-contained code block that is highly compatible with website builders like WordPress. Its JavaScript is written to be robust and avoid common issues that can occur when embedding code directly on a page.
