CS2 Case Opening Cost Calculator
Figure out how much it actually costs to open CS2 cases before you buy them. Pick cases, capsules, or souvenir packages, set how many you want to open, and get a full cost breakdown with case and key prices included. Prices pulled from 12 marketplaces — Steam, CSFloat, Buff163, Skinport, DMarket, and 7 more — updated every 15 minutes. Totals convert to 160+ currencies using live exchange rates. You can also send your plan to the CS2 case opening simulator to run the openings with real drop rates and see how it plays out.
How It Works
Add containers from the grid above and set how many you want to open. The cost panel shows per-case costs, key costs, and the running total. Compare prices across Steam, CSFloat, Skinport, Avan.Market, Buff163, CS.MONEY, DMarket, LIS-SKINS, SkinPlace, MarketCSGO, Tradeit.gg, and WAXPEER. US state sales tax is included if you need it, and you can convert to your local currency. When you're done, share your plan via URL or push it to the simulator.
Supported Containers
Covers all CS2 container types: weapon cases (Kilowatt, Revolution, Gallery, etc.), sticker capsules from majors and community series, souvenir packages from PGL, BLAST, and IEM events, graffiti boxes, music kit boxes, patch packs, and pin capsules. New containers get added within hours of release.
Simulate Your Openings
The CS2 case opening simulator runs on Valve-confirmed drop rates. Open one at a time with the animated reel, batch-open thousands, or load your calculator plan and simulate every case you picked. It tracks profit, best drops, and full session history.
Trade Up Calculator & Profitable Finder
Got skins from your openings? The trade up calculator shows all possible outcomes and expected value for any trade up contract, from Consumer Grade through Covert-to-knife trade ups. Or skip the math — the profitable trade ups finder auto-discovers contracts with positive expected value using real-time prices from 12 markets, refreshed every 30 minutes.
CS2 Case ROI Rankings
Want to skip the math and just see which containers are actually worth opening right now? The CS2 case ROI rankings sort every CS2 case, capsule, and package by live return on investment — expected value vs. total cost (case + key), profit chance, and how volatile the drop pool is. Prices refresh every 15 minutes across 12 markets, so the ordering reflects what's profitable (or least unprofitable) at this moment. You can also check the best CS2 cases to open this month and the worst CS2 cases to avoid.

Key (Steam)
CS2 case prices move around on the Steam Community Market. The calculator pulls live CS2 case prices, CSGO case prices, and key prices into one total so you know the real cost before you buy anything. Case prices vary across markets, so it compares all 12 to surface the cheapest platform per case.

How Much Is a CS2 Case Key?
Standard Steam key, any current CS2 case
$2.49
All current CS2 case keys cost the same. Third-party markets sometimes list keys a bit cheaper, but the spread is small and Steam Wallet funds are stuck on Steam anyway. A handful of older CSGO cases use different keys with their own prices.
The key cost isn't optional. Even if you grab the case for free off the market, opening it still costs a key every time. The calculator above totals cases and keys together in 160+ currencies with live exchange rates, so you see the real per-opening cost in EUR, GBP, CAD, or whatever you spend in.
CS2 Case ROI & Expected Value
Opening Counter-Strike cases is almost always negative EV. The cost breakdown here paired with the case opening simulator shows you exactly how negative. It adds up CS2 skin prices, case and key costs, and expected drop rates across every CSGO and CS2 container type: weapon cases, sticker capsules, souvenir packages, all of it. At least you'll know the numbers before you spend.
