How Much Is Your Steam Account Worth? (Free SteamDB Value Calculator Guide)

How can you find out the value of your Steam account?

In this article, we will share the most practical method for finding out the value of your Steam account.

Why should you know the value of your Steam account?

We all accumulate assets by adding games, DLC, and cosmetics to our accounts. There are moments when you look at your account and think about its value—almost like asking yourself what it might be worth if you walked away from it today. It’s a natural curiosity, and there are several practical ways to evaluate that worth.

The value of an account is determined by factors such as the current market prices of the items you own, discounts and whether or not the account has any bans.

How to Find Out Your Steam Account Value

I checked my account on SteamDB. I saw that my account is 5 years old and has no game bans, community bans, or trade bans. As a result, the account value calculator showed approximately $450. This represents the amount of money that would be spent today to set up the account from scratch and access the same content.

"My account is 5 years old, has no game, community & no trade bans... and the account value says $450."

Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Your Steam Account Value (using SteamDB)

• Open the browser: Any browser will work.

• Go to the SteamDB website: Type “Steam DB” in the search bar and enter the SteamDB site.

• Open the Calculator section: Find the "calculator" or "calculator" section within the site.

• Paste your profile URL or Steam ID: Go to your Steam profile, copy the URL (it's copied when you click on the top of your profile), and paste it into the SteamDB calculator.

• Start the research: SteamDB automatically calculates the current market prices, past discounts, and account value of the games in your library.

Factors Affecting Account Value

• Bans: Restrictions such as game bans, community bans, and trade bans significantly reduce an account's resale or market value. SteamDB monitors these bans, and they affect the value.

• Game prices and discounts: SteamDB uses the current price of games as a basis. If a game you previously purchased has seen a 60%, 70%, or even 90% discount, the "current price" is what matters in the calculation, rather than those historical discounts.

• Removed from the market or rare content: Some skins and items are valued differently depending on market conditions; SteamDB primarily aggregates game prices.

• Total money spent on the account: The total amount you actually spend on your account in real life may differ from the account value shown by SteamDB; SteamDB shows the cost of creating the account from scratch.

The difference between the value shown on SteamDB and the actual selling price

The amount shown on SteamDB is an estimated value calculated based on current Steam prices for the items in your account's library. This is the amount someone would pay to buy the same items from scratch. 

However, due to market dynamics, buyer interest, and platform regulations, the actual sale price may differ. Therefore, it makes sense to refer to the SteamDB value when selling or valuing your account, but it is not the final sale price.

Practical tips

• If you translate SteamDB into Turkish, the interface will be more understandable.

• You must remember that if your account is banned, So it's value decreases. Clean accounts are more valuable to buyers.

• Game prices change frequently. Remember that when determining the account's value, it is calculated using "today's price".

If you're considering selling the account, use its value on SteamDB as a starting point for negotiation, but have realistic expectations.
