How to check total money spent on Steam

Have you ever wondered how much money you have spent on Steam? Here is how to locate and calculate your ‘External Funds’ on the platform.

Steam is a treasure trove for games, with Valve’s online store featuring great shooting games, RPGs, and hidden gems. Regular sales also offer players fantastic bargains, which means you can end up spending a lot of cash on the service.

It’s possible to see exactly how much you’ve spent via the Steam launcher, and we’ve got a rundown of the method below. It’s important to note that this only tracks how much you’ve spent through the launcher, and doesn’t take any in-game microtransactions into account.

How to see how much money you’ve spent on Steam

The first step in accessing the total amount of money spent is to go to Steam via the launcher or the desktop app and log into your account.

Once logged into your Steam account, you will want to locate the ‘Support’ tab at the top of the screen. There are two ways to check the total amount spent. This can be done by adding up all of the purchases yourself through ‘Purchase History,’ or by clicking ‘My Account.’

After clicking ‘My Account,’ scroll to the bottom of that page and click the ‘Data Related to Your Account’ button. This will open up all the information regarding our account, from profile customization to subscriptions and how much money you have spent.

The ‘External Funds Used’ option will be between the ‘Video Encrypted Content Licenses’ and ‘Family Sharing’ buttons. Click this to determine how much money you have spent on your account.

Steam will have you log in to your account again and enter a code from the email associated with the account.

Categories

There are multiple categories for money spent on the account, so here’s a breakdown of which category means what:

• “TotalSpend” is the total external money added to your account.
• “OldSpend” is money added before April 17, 2015.
• If linked to Perfect World for CS:GO or Dota 2, “PWSpend” is the money from Perfect World
• If you added funds in Steam China, “ChinaSpend” shows that in RMB.
