Steam Market Fee Calculator

Estimate what the buyer pays, what reaches the seller’s Steam Wallet, and the effective fee. No Steam login is required.

What amount do you know?

Default 87% is a practical approximation for the common 5% Steam fee plus 10% game fee after converting from item price to buyer total.

Estimated fees

Effective fee vs buyer total
13%

Estimate only. Minimum fees, currency increments, taxes, rounding, and game-specific rates can change the final amount. Steam shows the authoritative total before confirmation.

Why 15% can look like about 13%

Steam’s published 5% transaction fee and a common 10% game fee are applied around the item amount. If the seller receives $100, the buyer total is roughly $115. Looking from the buyer total, the $15 fee is about 13.04%, so the seller receives about 86.96%.
