Steam Level Calculator

The Steam Level Calculator shows how much XP and how many card sets you need for any level: from level 0, level 100 takes 55,000 XP, or 550 sets. Enter your current and target level to see the XP and sets you're missing and what the new level unlocks.

The count starts from the beginning of your current level, so you may need a few fewer sets; for an exact count based on your profile, send the bot !check X, where X is your target level. A game's regular badge can be crafted at most 5 times, so you need a different game for every 5 sets.

Limited user accounts (less than $5 spent in the Steam store) cannot level up.

How to Use the Steam Level Calculator

The calculator applies Steam's rules to show how much XP you're missing for your target level, how many trading card sets that takes, and what the new level unlocks. Four steps:

Enter your current Steam level: it's shown on your Steam profile and on your Badges page. The calculator counts from the start of that level.
Enter your target level or pick one under "Quick target". You can change both numbers with the − and + buttons, and the calculator shows Steam's official badges for these levels.
Check the results: card sets, missing XP, the XP progress bar and what changes on your profile. To share a calculation, copy the page address: it keeps your levels.
Click "Buy card sets" or "Buy foil card sets" to open the level-up bot's profile. For an exact count for your profile that skips badges you've already crafted, send the bot !check X, where X is your target level.

Which Badge the Calculator Shows: New Color Every 10 Levels, New Shape Every 100

Steam shows a badge next to your level. Up to level 99 it's a circle whose border changes color every 10 levels. From level 100 the circle becomes a shape, a different one for each hundred: a hexagon for 100–199, a shield for 200–299, a book for 300–399 and so on. Within each hundred the badge also changes every 10 levels.

Circle colors by tens: 0–9 gray, 10–19 red, 20–29 orange, 30–39 yellow, 40–49 green, 50–59 blue, 60–69 purple, 70–79 pink, 80–89 dark maroon, 90–99 tan.

The calculator shows Steam's official badges for your current and target levels. Steam has badges up to the 6100–6199 tier, a crown; for higher levels the calculator shows the crown too. Every badge from level 0 to 6100 is on one page: Steam Level Badges.

Worked Examples: Card Sets to Level 10, 50 and 100

Every 10 Steam levels, each level costs 100 XP more: levels 1–10 cost 100 XP each, 11–20 cost 200 XP each, 21–30 cost 300 XP each, and so on. From level 0 that adds up to 1,000 XP for level 10, 15,000 XP for level 50 and 55,000 XP for level 100.

One card set crafts one badge level worth 100 XP, so the number of sets is the missing XP divided by 100, rounded up. A regular badge can be crafted at most five times per game, so you need at least as many different games as sets divided by 5.

From your current level, take the difference: level 50 to 100 is 55,000 − 15,000 = 40,000 XP, or 400 sets from at least 80 different games.

The table shows popular targets from level 0; expand the full XP table under it for every level from 1 to 120. To buy sets and craft badges, see Steam Level Up. The full table up to level 6100 is on the Steam XP Table page.

Steam Level Rewards: Friend Slots, Showcases, Booster Packs

According to Steam's help pages, your level gives three perks, and the calculator shows them for your current and target levels:

+5 friend slots per level: the base limit is 250 and the maximum is 2,000, reached at level 350.
Profile showcases: the first at level 10, then one more every 10 levels, up to 20 for now (at level 200). A showcase bought in the Steam Points Shop is added on top of the maximum.
+20% booster pack drop rate every 10 levels, double at level 50. A booster pack holds three random cards from a game, not a full set.
On top of level perks, every badge you craft gives a random emoticon and profile background from that game.

Other Ways to Earn Steam XP and Limited Accounts

Card badges aren't the only source of XP. The Game Collector badge grows on its own with the games in your library, Years of Service grows with your account's age, and Steam sales and events often have badges of their own. That XP counts toward your level too, so if you earn some while leveling up, you'll need fewer sets than the calculator showed. To add games for the Game Collector badge, see Steam Library Boost. All 48 Game Collector tiers and the number of games each one takes are listed on the Steam Game Collector badge page.

A limited user account (less than $5 USD spent in the Steam store) can't gain levels: Steam keeps it at level 0. The limit is lifted by spending at least $5 in the Steam store or adding $5 or more to your Steam Wallet; gifts you receive and games activated with a key don't count.

FAQ

How much XP and how many card sets do I need for Steam level 100?

From level 0, 55,000 XP, which is 550 card sets at 100 XP per set. Levels 91 to 100 cost 1,000 XP (10 sets) each.

How many sets do I need for Steam level 10, 20, 30 and 50?

From level 0: level 10 takes 10 sets (1,000 XP), level 20 takes 30 sets (3,000 XP), level 30 takes 60 sets (6,000 XP) and level 50 takes 150 sets (15,000 XP). If you already have a level, the calculator counts only what's missing.

How many sets do I need from level 50 to 100?

400 sets: level 100 takes 55,000 XP and level 50 takes 15,000 XP, a difference of 40,000 XP. If you're already partway to level 51, you'll need slightly fewer; for an exact count based on your profile, send the bot !check 100.

How much XP is one Steam badge?

Most badges give 100 XP, including each of the five levels of a regular game badge and the foil badge. A fully upgraded game badge is 500 XP, or 600 XP with the foil badge; Steam sale and event badges can give a different amount of XP.

How do I check my Steam level and XP?

Open your Steam profile and go to the Badges page: the top shows your level, your current XP and how much XP you need to reach the next level. Enter your current and target levels in the calculator to see the XP and sets you need, counted from the start of your current level; for the exact number of sets based on your profile, send the bot !check X, where X is your target level.

Why might the calculator show more sets than I need?

It counts from the start of your current level and can't know how much XP you already have toward the next one. For an exact count based on your profile, send the bot !check X, where X is your target level.

How many different games do I need to level up?

At least the number of sets divided by 5, since a regular badge can be crafted at most five times per game. That's 110 games from level 0 to 100 and 420 to level 200. The level-up bot skips badges you've already crafted.

Do foil badges count?

Yes. A foil badge can be crafted once per game and gives 100 XP, the same as one regular badge level, so a foil set equals a regular set in XP. Minimum game counts on this page use regular badges only; with the foil badge, one game gives up to 600 XP.

What is the maximum Steam level?

Steam's help pages don't list a level cap. Steam has level badges up to the 6100–6199 tier (a crown), and the calculator works up to level 99,999.

Does the calculator see my Steam profile?

No, it calculates right on the page from the current and target levels you enter. The bot can count for your profile: send it !check X, where X is your target level, and it will skip badges you've already crafted.
