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 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 profitable trade-ups after Steam fees stay in the list above.
Trade ups with the same best outcome are grouped, so the list doesn’t show a similar trade-up multiple times with slightly different inputs. When you click on a tradeup you can checkout other variants aswell, or you can 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 the profit you make on average each time you do a tradeup the steam market fee is included.
Return is the average value you get back as a percentage of the cost. Anything above 100% makes when you do the tradeup enough times to eliminate the luck factor.
Profit chance is the chance that the skin you get is a profit outcome. A 100% trade-up is a no-risk trade-up: every possible outcome is profitable.
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 degrade your outcome from Factory New to Minimal Wear and make the tradeup unprofitable. 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 update daily but errors can occur, and popular trade-ups push their input prices up quickly sometimes. Always keep in mind the 7-day trade hold: prices of your output skin can differ.

Questions
Are CS2 trade-ups still profitable?
Yes, but most trade-ups lose money, this is why the trade-up list above is so usefull to help you find profitable tradeups. The profit margin is usually small, and it can change quite fast when many people do the same trade-up, so check the steam market prices before you decide to commit to a trade-up.
Do no-risk trade-ups really exist?
Yes, but there are not many and they usually 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.
