CS2 farm calculator
The fields below are your assumptions. Drop prices and cash-out fees move all the time, so put in your own numbers. The subscription comes from our price ladder and is not a field.
About 60 by our estimate for September 2026. Accounts take turns in a slot, and each claims its own drops.
How much you lose turning Steam balance into money.
About $0.35 per drop, our estimate for September 2026.
A one-off cost; payback is measured against it.

This is an estimate. Drop prices, the market and fees change, so the result is not a promise of income.
How it is calculated
Four steps, the same ones the calculator above runs.
- 01
Drops
slots × accounts through a slot × drops per week × 52/12
A month has 52/12 weeks, not four; four would understate revenue by about 7%.
- 02
Revenue
drops × average drop price
The drop price is yours: use the one you actually sell at.
- 03
In hand
revenue × (1 − cash-out fee)
Steam balance cannot be turned into money without a loss.
- 04
Profit
in hand − subscription
The subscription follows the price ladder. Payback is money spent on accounts divided by monthly profit.
- How many drops does one account give?
- Two a week, once the account has earned the weekly XP threshold, usually a case and a weapon skin. That is a CS2 rule and no panel can speed it up, so more drops only come from more accounts.
- Do accounts get banned for farming?
- Yes, the risk is real. Valve has run ban waves against farming before and will again. Treat accounts as consumable inventory and put their replacement into the numbers above.
- Do I need my own hardware?
- No, accounts play on our machines. That is why the calculation has no lines for virtual machines, Windows licences or electricity. Panels you install on your own server charge less, but those costs land on you.
- Why subtract a cash-out fee?
- Drops sell on the Steam market for Steam balance, which cannot be withdrawn as money. Cashing out through third-party sites costs a real percentage, and without it revenue would look larger than what you keep.
