CS2 Steam fee calculator: what you get after the 15% fee

By Ivan B. · Updated 2026-10-26

Short answer: the Steam Market takes about 15% of the buyer’s price on CS2 items (5% Steam fee + 10% CS2 fee, each at least $0.01), so a $100 sale leaves you $86.97 in Steam Wallet funds.

Selling on a marketplace instead

What you would receive at the same sale price after each marketplace’s seller fee (cash you can withdraw, unlike Steam funds). Prices on marketplaces are usually lower than on Steam for the same item, so check what your skin actually sells for in the “Where to buy” table on its page.

How the Steam fee is calculated

• Two fees on top of your price: the 5% Steam Transaction Fee and the 10% Counter-Strike 2 fee are calculated from the amount you receive and added to it, so the buyer pays 115% of your amount (you get about 87% of the buyer’s price).
• Rounding: each fee is rounded down to the cent but is at least $0.01. That is why the lowest possible price is $0.03 and why fees on very cheap items are more than 15%.
• Wallet funds only: Steam pays in Steam Wallet funds (wallet limit $2,000). To turn skins into cash you need a third-party marketplace, see CS2 marketplaces compared.
• Trade protection: since July 2025 a Steam trade can be reversed for 7 days, so marketplaces hold the seller’s money during that window.
