Steam Market Fee Calculator
Work out what you keep after the Steam Community Market fee, or what to list an item at to receive the amount you want. CS2, Rust, TF2 and most games.
How the Steam Market fee works
Every sale on the Steam Community Market carries two fees on top of what the seller receives: a 5% Steam transaction fee and a game fee that goes to the game's publisher. For CS2, Rust and TF2 the game fee is 10%, so together the fees come to 15% of what you receive, which is about 13% of the price the buyer pays.
Both fees are worked out from the amount the seller receives. Each one is rounded down to the cent and each is at least one cent. That minimum is why the cheapest listing is $0.03: the buyer pays three cents and the seller keeps one.
Example: a $10.00 sale
A buyer pays $10.00. You receive $8.70, Steam keeps $0.43 and the game's publisher $0.87. To receive exactly $10.00 you would list the item at $11.50.
The calculator does the same arithmetic as the Steam Community Market, in any of the 44 currencies SkinStash supports, so the numbers match what Steam shows when you list an item.
Questions
Why do cheap items lose more than 15%?
Each fee is at least the smallest unit of your currency. On a $0.10 sale you receive $0.08: the two fees are one cent each, 20% of the price.
Do all games charge a 10% game fee?
Most games on the Steam Community Market, including CS2, Rust and TF2, charge 10%. A game's publisher can set a different rate, so for other games check the fee Steam shows when you list an item.
Can I avoid the Steam Market fee?
Not on the Steam Community Market itself: every sale pays it. Trading items directly with other players in a Steam trade has no market fee.
Can I withdraw money from my Steam Wallet?
No. Money from Steam Market sales goes into your Steam Wallet and can only be spent on Steam.
Does the fee depend on my currency?
The percentages are the same everywhere. The rounding works in the smallest unit of your wallet currency, so in currencies without cents the results can differ slightly from the dollar figures above.
