What does “Net result” mean, and is it my real profit?

Before you start

• Your history synced at least once: How do I run my first full sync?
• A Supporter plan: How do I become a Supporter?

Step by step

1. Open Statistics and look at “Net result, all time” on Overview, or at the “Net result” card on a section's tab.
2. Read “Returned” as today's price of everything you received from openings, trade-ups and drops.
3. Read “Spent” as today's price of what you gave up, such as the cases you opened or the input skins of a trade-up, plus 2,30 € for the key of every weapon-case opening.
4. Subtract Spent from Returned: green means what came out is worth more today than what went in, red means less.
5. Remember it is an estimate at listing prices: it uses neither the prices you paid or sold for, nor market fees.

Good to know

• Returned is today's price of what you received from openings, trade-ups and drops.
• Spent is today's price of what you gave up; for a trade-up that is the input skins.
• Because both sides use today's prices, the number moves when prices move.
• Case keys: every weapon-case opening adds a flat 2,30 € for its key, whatever the key really cost.
• The key cost applies to weapon cases only, not to souvenir packages, capsules, trade-ups or drops.
• Every opening is charged, whether or not its result has a price; key items you lost are not priced again.
• A free account sees one real money line, “Key costs”, on the Cases tab and “keys ≈” under the Overview's “Spent”; it is a flat estimate and leaves out the cases themselves.
• Armory passes are counted on the Armory tab, not in the Overview total.
• The figure appears as “Net result, all time” on Overview, as each section's “Net result” card, in the “By section” table and in the “Then and now” table.
• The percentage next to the all-time figure is the return on what was spent.
• The other money figures, including Net result, are Supporter figures; a free account sees them as hatched placeholders with a note saying so. See the plans page for Supporter.

How are case keys counted?

Every weapon-case opening adds a flat 2,30 € to Spent for its key, whatever the key really cost you or would cost on the market. Souvenir packages, capsules, trade-ups and drops carry no key cost.

Every opening is charged, whether or not its result has a price today. Key items you lost are not priced a second time, so the key is not counted twice.

A free account sees this as the one real money line: “Key costs” on the Cases tab (openings × 2,30 €) and “keys ≈” under “Spent” on Overview. It is a flat estimate and leaves out the cases themselves.
