Steam Level Calculator
Type the level you are and the level you want. It tells you the XP you need, how many card sets (badges) that is, and what it costs in TF2 keys at the best rate a level up bot is offering right now.
At today’s best rate: 18 TF2 keys with WingzX (Buy/Sell/Level Up) (8:1 sets per key). Compare every bot on the level up bot list.
How Steam levels work
Your Steam level goes up with XP, and almost all of it comes from crafting badges. A game’s badge is crafted from one full set of its trading cards, and every badge craft is worth 100 XP. So one card set is one badge craft, and the calculator’s number of sets is also the number of badges you craft.
Each level costs more than the one before. Levels 1 to 10 cost 100 XP each, one set a level. Levels 11 to 20 cost 200 XP each, two sets a level, and every further block of ten levels costs another 100 XP a level. That is why going from 10 to 11 takes two sets, and going from 340 to 341 takes thirty five.
Level up bots sell sets for TF2 keys at a rate such as 18:1, meaning 18 sets for one key. The higher that number, the cheaper your levels. See today’s cheapest Steam level up bots, or read how to level up your Steam account fast.
XP per level
What each level costs, in blocks of ten. The pattern carries on the same way past level 100.

| 11 to 20 | 200 | 2 | 3,000 |
| 21 to 30 | 300 | 3 | 6,000 |
| 31 to 40 | 400 | 4 | 10,000 |
| 41 to 50 | 500 | 5 | 15,000 |
| 51 to 60 | 600 | 6 | 21,000 |
| 61 to 70 | 700 | 7 | 28,000 |
| 71 to 80 | 800 | 8 | 36,000 |
| 81 to 90 | 900 | 9 | 45,000 |
| 91 to 100 | 1,000 | 10 | 55,000 |
How many sets to reach a level
Card sets needed to get from level 0 to each level, one badge craft per set.
| Level | Total XP | Sets from level 0 |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1,000 | 10 |
| 25 | 4,500 | 45 |
| 50 | 15,000 | 150 |
| 100 | 55,000 | 550 |
| 150 | 120,000 | 1,200 |
| 200 | 210,000 | 2,100 |
| 300 | 465,000 | 4,650 |
| 500 | 1,275,000 | 12,750 |
| 1,000 | 5,050,000 | 50,500 |
You can only craft each game’s normal badge up to level 5, so a bot sends you sets from games whose badge you have not finished. Foil badges are separate and give XP too.
Where the key price comes from
The key figure uses the best sets-per-key rate among the level up bots on our list that are reporting right now and have enough sets, and that can take you to your target level. Bots that are offline, out of sets, or that failed our rate check are left out. Keys are rounded up, because a bot cannot be paid part of a key.
Need keys first? You can buy TF2 keys at Gameza Level Up, the shop run by the same people as SteamTradeX.
