How to see the price per hour you pay for your Steam games

With gaming becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide, many players are now interested in knowing how much value they are getting from their games. Steam, the leading PC gaming platform, offers ways to analyze how much each game has cost you per hour, helping you see if your investment has truly been worth it.

How to calculate your price per hour on Steam

To find out the price per hour you have paid for each game, you can use a tool called SteamDB. Here’s how to do it:

First, visit the official SteamDB website. In the top-right menu, navigate to “Tools” and select “Calculator.” Once there, you must enter your Steam account’s URL or ID—keep in mind that your profile must be public for this to work. After pressing “Enter,” the site will display detailed information about your account.

Scroll down to the “Games” section and click on the “Price/Hour” category. Here you will see a list of your games sorted by how much each has cost you per hour of gameplay. Free-to-play games will also appear, but their price per hour will naturally be zero.

This method provides a clear and simple way to understand your gaming habits, helping you identify which purchases were truly worthwhile and which games you might want to spend more time on.

Why checking your price per hour matters

Understanding the real cost of your entertainment allows you to make better decisions about future purchases. Whether you prioritize long gameplay hours or unforgettable experiences, knowing your price per hour can help you enjoy gaming more consciously and economically.
