How CS2 Inventory Value Is Calculated
Every wearable CS2 item starts from a Factory New base price, then two multipliers adjust it: the wear condition you actually own, and whether it's a StatTrak™ copy. Here's the exact pipeline, worked through with a Factory New StatTrak™ Karambit | Doppler:
Base Price (FN)
$950.00
Wear: Factory New
1.00
StatTrak™ (Knife)
1.15
Unit Price
$1,092.50
Example: a Karambit | Doppler has a $950.00 Factory New base price. Factory New carries a 1.00× wear multiplier (no discount), and because it's a StatTrak™ knife, an extra 1.15× premium applies. $950.00 × 1.00 × 1.15 = $1,092.50 per copy — multiply by quantity for the line total, then sum every line for your full inventory value.
| Factor | Formula |
|---|---|
| Unit Price | Base Price (FN) × Wear Multiplier × StatTrak™ Multiplier (if applicable) |
| Line Total | Unit Price × Quantity |
| Category Subtotal | Σ(Line Total) for every item sharing a category |
| Total Inventory Value | Σ(Line Total) across every item you own |
CS2 Wear Conditions and Their Price Impact
Most CS2 weapon skins, knives, and gloves can exist in one of five wear conditions, from pristine to heavily battle-damaged. Worse wear conditions sell for noticeably less, even though the underlying skin pattern is identical. Cases, stickers, agents, and music kits have no wear condition — they carry a single flat price instead.
| Wear Condition | Price Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Factory New (FN) | 1.00× — pristine condition, the highest price for any skin |
| Minimal Wear (MW) | 0.78× — nearly pristine with very light surface wear |
| Field-Tested (FT) | 0.58× — visible wear, the most commonly traded condition |
| Well-Worn (WW) | 0.46× — heavy visible wear across the skin |
| Battle-Scarred (BS) | 0.36× — the most worn condition, the lowest price for any skin |
These multipliers are illustrative reference figures representative of typical CS2 market pricing patterns — not a live Steam Community Market feed. Actual wear price gaps vary by skin, and some finishes (like pattern-heavy Case Hardened or high-float Fade copies) can break from this curve entirely based on their specific float value or pattern index.
StatTrak™ Pricing — and Why Gloves Never Have It
StatTrak™ copies track a running kill/use counter and consistently sell for a premium over their standard counterpart. This calculator applies a category-based StatTrak™ multiplier: 1.15× for knives (which already carry a high base price, so the relative premium is smaller) and 1.55× for rifles, pistols, SMGs, and heavy weapons.
Gloves cannot be StatTrak™ — this is a real Counter-Strike 2 rule, not a limitation of this calculator. Valve never introduced a StatTrak™ variant for any glove model, so the StatTrak™ toggle is hidden entirely for every glove row. Cases, stickers, agents, and music kits also have no StatTrak™ concept.
CS2 Rarity Color Reference
Every item's rarity pill in your results uses the same color language CS2 uses in-game, so you can recognize an item's tier at a glance.
| Rarity | Applies To |
|---|---|
| Restricted | Mid-tier weapon skins (purple) |
| Classified | Higher-tier weapon skins (pink) |
| Covert | Top-tier weapon skins (red) |
| Contraband | M4A4 | Howl — the only skin with this rarity (gold/orange) |
| Covert (★) / Extraordinary | Knives and gloves — the game's rarest equipment tier (gold) |
Inventory Value Tiers
Once every line is priced and summed, your total inventory value is classified into one of four tiers.
Under $25 — Fresh Loadout. A new or minimal inventory, mostly cases and cheap skins.
$25 – $499.99 — Solid Loadout. Enough value to negotiate mid-tier weapon skin trades.
$500 – $4,999.99 — High-Value Inventory. Real leverage for knife- and glove-tier trades.
$5,000+ — Elite Vault. An inventory that rivals the most recognizable collections in the CS2 trading community.
