How To Check Total Money You Have Spent On CS:GO Skins

You can actually track how much money you have spent on CS:GO skins through the Steam platform itself. Though it is relatively hidden, Steam has created a feature that accumulates how much money you have transacted on CS:GO skins using the Steam Community Market or in-game purchases.

The numerical value includes purchasing skins from other players through the Steam Market, and also direct transactions such as the purchase of the Prime Status, or buying Case Keys to unbox Weapon Cases.

Here is a step-by-step guide of how to see how much you spent on CS:GO.

Step 1: Log In To Your Steam Account On The Steam Client

The first step is to log in to your Steam account on the official Steam platform. You can log in through the Steam desktop client, or you can also open the official Steam website to complete the following steps. 

Enter your username and password, and be prepared to input a one-time code that will be displayed on your Steam Mobile Authenticator or on your linked email account. 

Step 2: Click On The Badges Section

Now that you are logged into your account, you can proceed to the second step. On the main page of your Steam client or website, look for your profile name at the top of your screen, which is placed next to the “Community” tab. 

Hover over your Steam profile name, but do not click it. Once your cursor is hovered over it, a drop-down menu should appear. Within the available choices, click on the “Badge” page. 

Step 3: Look For CS:GO And Click “How do I earn card drops?”

The previous step will take you to your Steam Badges page, where you will see all the badges you have on every Steam game you own. Here, look for Counter-Strike.

Once you have found the Counter-Strike badge section, click on the button that reads “How do I earn card drops?” which is located on the top-right corner. 

Step 4: Check How Much You Have Spent On CS:GO

A pop-up menu should appear if you followed the third step correctly. In the blue box titled “How do I earn more drops?”, you should see the amount of money you have spent in this sentence:

“You have spent approximately $XX.XX USD in the game after this card set was released.”

Using the USD value displayed in the middle of the sentence, you can see exactly how much money you have spent on Counter-Strike, whether it is through purchases from the Steam Community Market, or direct purchases from the game such as Weapon Keys or the Prime Status Upgrade.

However, you must keep in mind that Steam cannot track the money you have spent on third-party marketplace websites. So, if you feel that most of your money is circulating through these trading websites, you have probably spent a lot more money than what is displayed on the Steam menu. 

As mentioned earlier, the value displayed on the Steam platform does not account for transactions outside of it, meaning third-party trading and gambling websites. 

Most experienced CS:GO traders prefer transacting outside of the Steam platform, as the Steam Community Market imposes a 15% selling fee, while third-party websites only ask for 2 to 8% in fees. 

If you have made a lot of transactions on these trading websites, you should understand that the value shown on the Steam platform is not very accurate. 

There is no existing tool that will help you calculate how much money you have spent throughout all the different third-party websites, so you will have to do some manual calculations yourself.

Still, almost all third-party websites allow you to check your transaction history, so you can add up the numbers after checking all the websites you have used to buy skins. Once you have totaled up most of the transactions, you can add the amount spent on Steam to get a more accurate total of how much you have spent on CS:GO skins. 

Steam Inventory Calculator

Though you cannot calculate all of your transactions throughout your lifetime in one go, there is another way to check how much money you have spent on skins. You can use a Steam Inventory Calculator to add up the value of all skins you currently have in your inventory.

However, as we all know, skins can be bought, sold, and traded every week, so there is almost no way your Steam Inventory will reflect the true amount of money you have spent on CS:GO skins. Still, if you keep your skins for a very long time, calculating the inventory value can put you on the right track. 

If you want to see your total inventory value with a calculator, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Make Your Steam Inventory Public

Before you can check your inventory value with a click of a button, you must first ensure your Steam Inventory visibility is set to public. 

Go to your Steam Profile, and then click on Edit Profile. Next, go to your Privacy Settings, and scroll down until you see the “My Profile” section. Here, change your inventory visibility to “Public” mode. 

Step 2: Copy Your Steam Profile Link

Next, we are going to grab your Steam Profile Link, as it is required to look up your inventory in the calculator website. 

Grabbing your Profile Link is super easy. Go to your Steam Profile page like you normally would, and then right-click anywhere on your profile and copy the page URL. Keep this link copied to your clipboard, or save it somewhere since we’re going to use it soon. 

Step 3: Go To An Inventory Calculator Website

Finally, you can go to an Inventory Calculator website. You can look for these keywords on Google and find several websites that get the job done. If you are concerned about safety, we recommend these trusted websites:

• CSBackpack.net
• CSGO.Exchange

Once you have opened any of these websites, you should see a search bar at the very top. Here, paste your Steam Profile Link, which will immediately take you to your profile.

As long as your Steam Inventory is set to public, you should be able to see the total value of your current inventory, giving you a good idea of how much money you have spent. 

Well, there is no firm answer to this question. Like most things in life, the question of “how much is a lot” is always subjective to the amount of money you have. Generally speaking, it isn’t too wise to spend over $1,000 over some video game pixels, but if this amount doesn’t leave a scratch on your bank account, who are we to tell you how much to spend. 

If you’re living under a rock, it is very common to see CS:GO skins being valued at thousands of dollars, with some even exceeding the ten-thousand dollar mark. A great example would be Case Hardened skins. 

Case Hardened skins are very unique, as each unboxed copy of the skin features a random pattern index from the range of 1 to 1,000. If a player gets a lucky pattern, which the odds are around 1 in 200 or less, they can receive a “Blue Gem” version of the Case Hardened, which displays lots of blue colors which are very sought after.

General Blue Gem knives can exceed the $15,000 mark, but the most expensive skin in the game is the number one pattern Karambit | Case Hardened Blue Gem skin with the #387 pattern. The owner of this knife received a real offer of $1,500,000 in cash, but he still turned it down saying it was “too low.” Imagine what you can buy with this amount of money – you could probably retire in most countries already!

Other than this unique case, there are other weapon skins in the range of $10,000 to $100,000 being bought and sold on a weekly basis. It is truly hard to believe that virtual pixels have reached the prices of two-bedroom apartments or very decent sports cars. 

You also might find it helpful to learn that over 700,000 Counter-Strike Weapon Cases are opened everyday. Considering Case Keys cost $2.50 to purchase directly from the in-game store, we can safely conclude that Valve is making at least $1,750,000 every single day from case openings alone. 

Just know that there are a bunch of maniacs or wealthy people who are opening hundreds of weapon cases weekly, which adds to the total of 700,000 cases unboxed a day. 

So, if you have spent hundreds of dollars on skins, you are on the safer side as you have not been infested by an addiction to CS:GO skins yet. However, it is worth noting that most people who deal with these absurd amounts of money are full-time traders who can make a living out of buying and selling skins. 

If you have spent thousands of dollars on CS:GO items and feel bad, don’t be too discouraged as there are other people who have spent tens up to hundreds of thousands of dollars on CS:GO transactions. 

Here is a compilation of how much money CS:GO traders and content creators have spent on the game.

ohnePixel – CS:GO Trader / Twitch Streamer

ohnePixel is one of the largest Counter-Strike streamers in the world, averaging tens of thousands of viewers at a time during his live streams. He started making an impact in the CS:GO scene by being a prominent trader, who has made more than hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit.

He is known to be pretty addicted to opening CS:GO cases, as he would always open one in the middle of a Competitive match every time he dies or gets frustrated. To put it into perspective, ohnePixel revealed that he had spent over $42,000 in CS:GO transactions, with the majority being Weapon Cases and Case Keys. 

He has also opened Katowice 2014 Capsules, which cost over $25,000 each. However, he purchased these capsules from third-party websites or other traders, so this value is not tracked within the Steam client’s calculator. 

Anomaly – Content Creator / YouTuber

Anomaly is one of the most popular CS:GO YouTubers, with over 3.2 million subscribers on his main channel. Though he does various types of Counter-Strike content, he is extremely popular for doing skin-related ones, especially case openings. 

Anomaly would do insane challenges such as his 4,000 case opening which took over 24 hours, and his Case Battles where he would open up to 1,000 cases against his friends. This would naturally lead to a huge purchase receipt, as Case Keys are directly purchased from the in-game store and tracked by the Steam counter.

In 2023, Anomaly revealed he had spent over $70,000 on CS:GO purchases on the Steam platform, which is almost $30,000 more than what ohnePixel had spent. Still, everyone knows that Anomaly is close to being a millionaire, if he isn’t already. You can already buy a decent house with that amount of money!

xQc – Twitch Streamer

Another shocking Twitch streamer that has spent piles of cash on CS:GO is xQc, one of the largest streamers in the world. xQc isn’t known for Counter-Strike content, and in fact, barely even touches the game.

However, he has a severe gambling addiction which he relieves by opening cases in CS:GO. We know that xQc signed a $100 million deal to stream on Kick in 2023, so money isn’t that big of an issue for our favorite Overwatch streamer.

After checking his Steam statistics, xQc revealed on stream that he had spent over $151,000 opening cases. The most bizarre part is that he doesn’t even play the game, and hasn’t been opening cases for very long. Still, considering his net worth, $151,000 is close to chump change for a baller like him. 

Superfkr1 – Content Creator

You might have thought that these popular streamers and YouTubers have unlimited money to spend on opening cases and buying Counter-Strike skins. However, a smaller content creator named Superfkr1 has spent more than the most famous streamers in the world. 

Superfkr1 only has around 30,000 followers on Twitter, so he isn’t the biggest content creator in the world. However, he lives and breathes opening cases, and cannot go a day without opening any. He has spent over $230,000 on CS:GO items, which is just mind-blowing.

He was on stream opening cases, and unboxed a Flip Knife | Doppler in its Sapphire phase. Sapphire phases are extremely rare, and any normal person would freak out upon unboxing it. However, Superkfr1 had little to no reaction, which is probably because he has opened tens of thousands of cases already. 

MartinRGB – CS:GO Trader

The craziest spender we’ll feature on this list is MartinRGB, one of the biggest Counter-Strike traders in the scene. He is a former CS:GO skin trader who has been trading skins since 2014, before the boom in skins. 

According to an interview with Jake Lucky, MartinRGB has made up to $50,000 in a single month from trading skins full time, not only in CS:GO, but Dota 2 items as well. Since then, he is still very active in the CS:GO community and is a key member of the CSGO-Rep trading website.

Using his profit from trading, he has spent over $260,000 on CS:GO items, and mostly spent that money opening cases. He has unboxed over 100,000 cases throughout his lifetime and opened many, many knives.
