Steam Market Fee Calculator
What you actually receive from a Community Market sale after Steam’s fee and the game’s fee — or what to list at so that the amount you want is what lands in your wallet.
- 1Pick the gameEach game sets its own fee. CS2, Dota 2, TF2 and Rust all take 10 %.
- 2Choose a direction“I list at” if you know the price. “I want to receive” if you know what you need.
- 3Read the receiptSteam’s preview may differ by a cent. The page explains why below.
Listed at €10.00 in Counter-Strike 2, the buyer pays that, Steam keeps €0.43, the game keeps €0.87, and €8.70 lands in your wallet.
How the fee works
Two fees come off every sale: a Steam transaction fee of 5 % and a fee set by the game the item belongs to — 10 % for Counter-Strike 2 and the other Valve games. Both are a share of what the seller receives, not of the listed price, and each has a floor of 0.01 in your wallet currency. The buyer pays the listed price; you get the rest. We have not yet read these rates directly on Valve's Market FAQ from this side; they are the rates the Market has used for years and the ones every guide repeats, and this line will carry a date once a person has confirmed them there.
Why the cents can differ
Steam computes the fees in the smallest unit of your wallet currency, rounds each one, and works from the buyer’s price down. This calculator does the same in two-decimal arithmetic. On most prices the results match; on some they differ by one cent. The listing dialog on Steam shows the exact figure before you confirm.
Market activity is one of the public signals a Steam profile check looks at — not the amounts, only whether the account has a trading history at all.
