If your account is less than about 5 years old (and you live in the US) you can also just look at the points shop. Each Steam Point corresponds to one cent spent on Steam.
I don’t know why you would use a third Party Tool that estimates your purchases, when it has always been right there in your account, without estimates.
Main reason for me is that I have bought humble bundles, donated to gamejams, and gotten keys off of legit and grey-market sites in the past in conjunction with buying directly from Steam. Those aren’t included in the Steam spend category.
The tool doesn’t know how much you paid for it, though, so it’s completely ignoring sales, donations and in app purchases, and just applies a price to it.
This isn't a 3rd party tool, it's a separate Steam Support page that lists your total purchases. It basically takes the data from the Purchase History section (assuming that you usually pay directly and not using Steam gift cards) and totals it so that you don't have to do that manually.
It was part of the Valve Orange Box and that was a big deal at the time. There was also a huge deal of whining from people who paid for it when Valve announced they were changing it to a free to play model.
3465 € in 21 years at today’s prices for 287 games. Given that I mostly buy at historical lows the estimate of 1033 € that can be found on the same SteamDB page applies to me.
3,6 € per game, 49 € per year.
Given the tears, the emotions and the joy I got repeatedly from all those (mostly indie) titles, it’s well worth it. Praised be GabeN and all of Valve!
I literally can’t see this information on mobile. It prompts me to sign in but when I input my info, email code and all, it prompts me to do it again. 🙄
The official page shows the money you’ve spent, the estimator shows the current price of the games on your account, adjusted to everything. For me the difference is X4
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.
From Steam support regarding package only:
This row includes the portion of the account’s total funds spent that could not be transferred. For example, a hardware purchase, gifted game, or in-game item does not count toward Package Only Spend, but a game purchase for your own library would.
It’s formatted weird on the Steam page but I have this text at the top.
“TotalSpend” is the total amount of external funds applied to your account. This value is used to determine if an account is a “Limited User Account”.
“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC. If your account was linked to Perfect World for CS:GO or Dota 2,
“PWSpend” will be the approximate USD value of funds applied from Perfect World, otherwise that value will be zero. If your account has applied external funds in Steam China,
“ChinaSpend” will report that total, in RMB.
Weirdly I also have a row for “PackageOnlySpend” that doesn’t have a definition.
Yea same, I don’t know what that last one is. So Total is the total, and Old is the part of the total that was applied before april 17th 2015. I think it makes sense. About 100$ a year, or roughly 8$ a month. I was afraid what I’d find tbh
Well not how much you’ve spent, how much it values your collection. But what’s that number based on? I’ve only bought one full price game in my entire life on Steam. And it was one of my biggest regrets so I’m not doing that again. So right there all the sale prices I’m paying aren’t being calculated right? Then there’s the case of free games and humble bundles, back when they were awesome. Hell probably a third to half of the games I have in my Steam account either came from Humble bundles or free giveaways.
SteamDB gives you a valuation based on full price. The article describes an entry on Steam’s Help page that gives you an accurate number of how much money you paid to Valve, including micro-transactions.
That’s very unlikely, I couldn’t have spent so much money on steam. I’ve bought like 5 games on steam and not even at full price. The rest comes from grey zone shops/HB
Edit: Just added up the numbers in my purchase history, it’s about 1/4 of the sum there
Maybe it also counts transactions from the Steam Market? I also found my TotalSpend hard to believe, but it’s also not like I’ve traded hundreds of dollars worth of items in the market.
The description of the support page notes that these values are used to determine some sort of limited user account status. It might not be intended to keep an accurate tally. I wouldn’t be surprised if these values are only available due to gdpr and accuracy of the description was not a priority when they set it up. I’m implying that the employee who wrote the description might not have understood the value precisely enough.
But who knows. I could just be huffing copium about my game expenses 😅
