What Is Steam's 15% Fee?
Steam's Community Market applies two separate fees: a 5% Steam fee and a 10% game publisher fee. Both are calculated on the amount the seller receives and rounded down to the nearest cent, with a minimum of $0.01 each. The buyer pays the total.
Why Doesn't the Math Add Up Perfectly?
Because Steam uses Math.floor() on each fee separately, the effective total fee rate is slightly below 15% for small amounts. Items priced below $0.03 are charged $0.01 for each fee regardless. This is why a list price "reverse calculator" requires an iterative approach, not simple multiplication.

How much does Steam take from marketplace sales?
Steam charges two fees: a 5% Steam transaction fee and a 10% game publisher (developer) fee. Combined, the seller loses approximately 15% of the sale, and the buyer pays the sum of the seller's listing price plus both fees.
How do I calculate what to list my CS2 skin for to get $50?
Use the "What Price to List?" tab above, enter $50 in the desired amount field. Since Steam rounds each fee down, the listing price to receive exactly $50 is ~$57.69, not exactly $58.82 (which simple math would suggest). The calculator handles Steam's rounding rules precisely.
Does the 10% publisher fee change between games?
The 10% rate is the standard publisher fee. Some developers have negotiated different rates with Steam, but CS2 (Valve), Rust (Facepunch), TF2 (Valve), and Dota 2 (Valve) all use the standard 10% rate. Third-party game markets may differ.
