The purchase history records all your wallet replenishments, as well as the costs of games, skins, and DLC. This can be called your financial history in Steam.

Depending on the category of people you belong to, you may need different information from there. The reasons for the request can be both personal and work-related.

For example, gamers usually want to know where their money is going. Responsible individuals with financial discipline tend to plan and monitor their expenses. In this case, the purchase history helps players understand how much they spend on games and whether their spending is impulsive or excessive. Additionally, analyzing the history can provide insights into gaming preferences and favorite genres. As a result, gamers can gain a better understanding of themselves and their desires, enabling them to make more informed decisions about purchasing games or skins in the future.

The purchase history will help parents understand what their children are buying on Steam. This tool is especially useful for detecting lies from children. For example, you give your child $100 for pocket money to buy food at school. Your child assures you that they have done everything you asked them to do. However, through the purchase history, you suddenly discover that the money you gave for food has been spent on skins. In such cases, it is advisable to set a limit on Steam purchases to prevent unwanted purchases.

If you have problems logging in or activating your game, access to your purchase history can help you prove to the support team that you actually purchased the game and paid for it. In most cases, resolving these issues takes only a few hours.

If you need to recover your account, information about the games you have purchased, the dates of your purchases, and the amounts you have paid can serve as strong evidence that the account belongs to you. Therefore, it is important to keep a copy of your purchase history to ensure that you can easily access your account in the future.

Information from the purchase history is provided in the form of anonymized statistical reports to game developers in order to understand gaming trends. Developers analyze these trends and make decisions based on them to adjust the sales strategy of their games or to decide whether to develop new games.

In rare cases, information from the purchase history is needed by lawyers. Usually, this information is requested by lawyers to participate in courts where issues of authorship of some cool skin or theft of stickers or skins are considered.

How To See How Much I've Spent On Steam?

Depending on the device you are using, the login process to history may vary slightly. Let's explore these differences. 

Browser on a Computer

To view your purchases and estimate your expenses, follow these steps:

  1. The first step is standard. Log in to your Steam account. This is crucial, as your account is linked to your purchase history.

  2. Once you're logged in, look at the top-right corner. You'll see your avatar image. Click on it.

  3. A drop-down menu will appear. Here, you need the “About Account” line.

  4. In the new window, select the "View Purchase History" section. That's it, you've reached your goal. You can use the information provided to solve your problems. If necessary, you can download the history data to your computer to analyze it or use it for personal accounting.

Steam Program on a Computer

Here's how to proceed:

  1. This step is similar to the first step in the list above. The only difference is that you're accessing Steam through the program instead of the website.

  2. So, you've opened the program. Now, at the top of the screen, you need to find "Account". Click on it.

  3. This point is similar to the third point in the list above.

  4. Look for the “Purchase and payment history” section. Once you find it, look for the “View purchase history” option. That's where you need to go.

  5. That's it, you're in the right place.

App on a smartphone

This option is only available to those who have installed the Steam app. If you haven't installed the app, you can only access the purchase history on your phone through a browser. Here's how to use the app:

  1. As usual, start the app first. Check if you are logged in.

  2. Now click on the icon with 3 horizontal lines.

  3. A drop-down menu appears. Select "About Account".

  4. In the new window, there will be a "Shopping History" at the bottom. Then click on “View Purchase History”. You can go there.

  5. The information in the history is similar to that in other sources, with one exception: smartphones have smaller screens, so the interface is adapted for smaller screens.


How To Check How Much Money You've Spent On CS:GO and CS2 Skins?

Unfortunately, there are no special filters in the purchase history that would help you sort skins from other purchases and sales. You won't be able to separate CS:GO skins from CS2 skins or skins of one quality from skins of another quality. Therefore, you will need to manually review each record. We strongly recommend that you use the manual method of calculating costs. Yes, it is a lengthy process. Yes, it is time-consuming. However, the risk of account theft by phishing services is zero in this case. You'll need to grab a pen and paper or open Excel, review each transaction, and calculate the total amount. Just keep in mind that if you purchased skins on third-party platforms instead of Steam, these purchases will not be displayed in your purchase history. As a result, your analysis will be incomplete.

 

Another option for estimating the cost of skins is to use third-party resources. We will provide a list of trusted platforms below, but please note that we cannot guarantee 100% safety. There is always a risk of falling victim to scammers and losing your account. Please exercise caution and vigilance. If you are required to enter a login and password, please leave this website immediately, as your profile may be stolen.

To estimate the cost of skins, you need to switch your inventory to the "Public" mode.

How to do it? Everything is as usual, open Steam. Next, you need to click on your avatar or “Account”, which are located at the top right. In the menu that appears, look for “View my profile”. In the new window, look up and to the right, there will be the phrase “Edit profile”, click there. In the next step, again look to the right, where there will be “Privacy settings” and click on this button. Scroll down the page to “Inventory” and put “Public”. As a rule, the program takes a few minutes to upload your ammunition and skins to the public domain.

To get information from the services, you need to provide them with your SteamID or a link to your profile. The skinpock.com resource may also ask for your username.

The main verified resources are:

  • Profilerr. 

  • Steam.tools.

  • Tradeit.gg.

If you are a qualified programmer or have good knowledge of writing programs, you can use the Steam API and create your own script to analyze your purchase history and calculate your spending on skins. This can also be a source of additional income for you if you create a full-fledged application and upload it to Google Play, for example.


If you are upset by excessive spending on skins, if you want to get rid of boring coloring, then we invite you to sell them on SkinLand at a good price. Sale takes place officially through Steam. Money is withdrawn through bank cards, payment systems and cryptocurrencies without hidden commissions.

If you wish to update your inventory, buy a bright and cool skin, then go here. Unlike the history of purchases Steam, we have a filter system, with which you will quickly find a skin for a specific weapon and the quality you need.
