No trade-ups match these filters. Raise your budget or set profit chance to Any.
Profit, return and chance are calculated after the Steam market fee (about 13% of the sale price). Prices are averages and move every day, so check the price and float of each skin before you buy. Buy links to marketplaces other than Steam are affiliate links: if you buy through them I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
How the calculator works
Every day the calculator pulls fresh average prices for all CS2 skins and runs them through my trade-up algorithm. For each combination of input skins and floats it works out which skins can come out, how likely each one is, and what wear it will have. Only trade-ups that make a profit on average after Steam fees stay in the list.
Trade-ups with the same best outcome are grouped, so the list doesn’t show the same trade-up twenty times with slightly different inputs. Open one to see its variants, or untick “Group similar trade-ups” to see them all.
What the numbers mean
Cost is what the input skins cost together: 10 skins for a normal trade-up, 5 Coverts for a knife or gloves trade-up.
Avg profit is what you make per trade-up on average, after selling the outcome on the Steam market and paying the fee.
Return is the average value you get back as a percentage of the cost. Anything above 100% makes money in the long run.
Profit chance is the chance that the skin you get sells for more than you paid. A 100% trade-up is a no-risk trade-up: every possible outcome is worth more than the inputs.
Before you do a trade-up
Check the float of every skin you buy. The output float is based on the input floats, so one skin with a slightly too high float can drop your outcome from Factory New to Minimal Wear and wipe out the profit. The calculation uses the float shown for each input, so stay at or below it.
Check the current price of each input too. The prices here are daily averages, and popular trade-ups push their input prices up quickly. Remember the 7-day trade hold: prices can move before you can sell.

Questions
Are CS2 trade-ups still profitable?
Some are. Most trade-ups lose money, which is why the calculator only lists the ones that come out ahead on average at today’s prices. Margins are usually small, and they disappear when many people do the same trade-up, so check prices before you buy.
Do no-risk trade-ups really exist?
Yes, but there are not many and they don’t last long. Set “Profit chance” to 100% to see the ones that are no-risk right now. The input skins are often hard to find at the right float and price.
How often is the list updated?
Prices and trade-ups are recalculated every day. The date above the table shows the last update.
