War of Genesis Steam Market Fees Explained

The verified USD components

Steam component

5% with a $0.01 minimum

Game component

10% with a $0.01 minimum

Calculate independently from seller receives, floor to integer cents, then apply the one-cent minimum.

Seller result

Steam Wallet proceeds

Wallet proceeds are not withdrawable cash. Review the current Steam terms and confirmation before listing.

Why a flat 15% shortcut can be wrong

The two components have separate flooring and minimum steps. Adding one combined percentage and rounding once can differ by a cent, especially near step boundaries. Some buyer-facing totals are therefore unreachable under the forward calculation.

steam fee = max($0.01, floor(seller receives × 5%))
game fee  = max($0.01, floor(seller receives × 10%))
buyer pays = seller receives + steam fee + game fee

Scope and freshness
