myki money is a dollar amount (e.g. $20, $50) that's stored on a myki. When you touch on and touch off as you travel, the system calculates the best available fare for the journey.

myki money is perfect for someone who travels infrequently or who varies their travel patterns from day to day or week to week. With myki money it doesn't matter how often you travel because as long as you touch on and touch off myki will always calculate the best fare for you.

With myki money you aren't restricted to zones, as you pay for what you use. As long as you touch on and touch off correctly, myki money will always give you the best fare.

myki money fares are based on the discounted Value Metcard ticket offers, so you will save no matter how little or often you travel.

Fares are capped to the applicable 2 hour or Daily fare.

If you use myki to travel entirely within zones 1 and 2 on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, you will pay no more than $3 per day. Please note: this applies to full fare travel only.  

Please note: You can store both myki money and myki pass on the same card.

A minimum of $10 is now required to top up via the myki website and call centre.

The maximum daily myki money fare is $9.92, for travel in Zones 1 & 2. The $10 minimum means you can top up your myki for at least one day’s travel.

You can still top up as little as $1 cash at myki machines, which are located at most metropolitan stations and selected tram platforms and bus interchanges.
