Level up
The calculator needs to know where you are starting from, which means your level, your XP and the badges you already hold. All three come from Valve, and none of them need a password.
Sign in via SteamSteam signs you in on their own site. We never see your password, and we cannot touch your account or your items.
A Steam level is bought with XP, and XP comes from crafting badges out of trading card sets. One set is 100 XP, always. The catch is that each level costs more XP than the last: the price of a level rises every ten levels, so going from 90 to 100 costs far more than going from 0 to 10.
That is the whole reason a calculator exists. Below is what it takes to reach a given level starting from zero, worked out from Valve’s own curve. Sign in and the calculator does the same sum from wherever you actually are, counting the badges you already hold.
| Level | Card sets needed | Total XP |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10 | 1,000 |
| 20 | 30 | 3,000 |
| 30 | 60 | 6,000 |
| 50 | 150 | 15,000 |
| 75 | 320 | 32,000 |
| 100 | 550 | 55,000 |
| 150 | 1,200 | 120,000 |
| 200 | 2,100 | 210,000 |
Starting from level 0. Badges you have already crafted count towards this, so your own number is usually lower.
We hold the card sets ourselves, on our own Steam bots. You pick a target level, pay, and the sets arrive as ordinary Steam trade offers that you accept. Then you craft the badges, which is the part Steam only lets the account owner do.
You are charged per set rather than rounded up to a whole number of keys, so a level that needs 63 sets costs 63 sets. Nothing is priced per person: the rate is the same whoever is signed in.
A Steam account that can trade: Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator enabled for at least seven days, no trade ban, and no password change in the last five days. Without that, Steam holds every offer for fifteen days regardless of who is sending it.
Your profile also needs to be public enough for us to read your badges, which is how the calculator knows what you already have. We never ask for your password.
