The rate depends on your wallet currency

Steam grants points on Store purchases — games, DLC, hardware and in-game Store items; not Community Market trades, and not the money you add to the wallet itself — at a rate Valve states in your wallet’s own currency, and the rates are not a straight conversion of each other. The banner on the Points Shop shows yours when you are signed in. Rates we have read there ourselves carry a date; the others are what guides repeat, and the calculator says so when you pick them.

PLN: 134 points per 5.00 zł: read on Valve's Points Shop banner on 2026-09-05
USD: 100 points per 1.00 $: not yet read on Valve's page in this currency
EUR: 112 points per 1.00 €: not yet read on Valve's page in this currency

If your wallet is in USD or EUR and the banner on your Points Shop shows a different figure, the banner is right and this page is behind.

What points are not

Points are not a currency. They cannot be traded, sold, gifted as points or cashed out; they buy items in the Points Shop and Steam Awards for other people’s reviews, and that is all. A number of points has no price in money, which is why this page shows what a spend earns and what an item needs — and no “worth”.

Points buy profile cosmetics — which is the same surface a profile check reads. Cosmetics do not change a credibility score; the public facts behind the profile do.

Questions people ask

Do Steam Points expire?

Valve’s stated policy has been that they do not, as long as the account stays in good standing. Check the Points Shop FAQ for the current wording.

Does a game bought on sale earn fewer points?

Points follow what you paid, not the list price. A game at 75 % off earns a quarter of the points.

Can I buy points?

Not directly. Points come from purchases; there is no points top-up.
