So I made this topic for people who wonder when they will level up. I based this list on cg's post days ago and after seeing the Real CV calculator tool that our fellow SG user knsys created here I realized it's pretty much in line with it. The mistake most people make is, that they base their CV on the "Gifts Sent" value, but that one now counts all bundle games with their full value. You don't get 30$ CV anymore from your first few bundle games, they are now always calculated into your CV level with only 15% of their full value. Also you need to have at least 5 entries on your giveaway. For a full explanation of CV Levels and Reduced CV/No CV giveaways click here and here

You can check your Real CV here and compare it to this list (kinda redundant now that knsys added your specific range to the calculator :D)
I try to update the table from time to time, if you need the current live numbers check here at the bottom of the page.

Contributor Level Contributor Value Range Number of users (October 3, 2022) Percentage of Users Percentage of Users (Level 0 excluded)
Level 0 $ 0 980,047 85.088% -
Level 1 $ 0.01 - 25 114,023 9.900% 66.386%
Level 2 $ 25 - 50 18,627 1.617% 10.845%
Level 3 $ 50 - 100 14,062 1.221% 8.187%
Level 4 $ 100 - 250 12,360 1.073% 7.196%
Level 5 $ 250 - 500 5,770 0.501% 3.359%
Level 6 $ 500 - 1000 3,415 0.296% 1.988%
Level 7 $ 1000 - 2000 1,955 0.170% 1.138%
Level 8 $ 2000 - 3000 625 0.054% 0.364%
Level 9 $ 3000 - 5000 518 0.045% 0.302%
Level 10 $ 5000+ 403 0.035% 0.235%

In case you are wondering why these are static & not dynamic like in the beta ?

"We did have dynamic before, but it meant people would lower in levels over time if they're inactive. In a couple of years, we might have to raise them" -cg

So these are correct for now.

You do have access to the numbers, the data is here: http://www.steamgifts.com/users/search

If you parse it you can make new statistics :)

Just 30026 pages to parse... I'm sure the server will love that :P

And that's why we need a public API :)

Or at least a way to get the result in "joined at" order instead of username. That way we could do some incremental parsing.

That's why I didn't want to make the statistics parser, and I only update the bundles cache once a day (105 pages and growing).

Calculator a bit inaccurate. Games, that was in bundle, always counts as "bundled" game. But site count it at full price, if you gave it away before bundle was released. Your site says my CV 232, but my level is 4.94 (almost 250)

I don't maintain the calculator. There could be something off right now, dunno. Bundle list changes these days after Shobo got his role back.

yeah, it's a bit off. when i hit level 10, i think it showed something like 4800$.

and thanks for giving me the hint with your level 4.94. i didn't even know there is this tooltip which shows your level as a floating point value.

Doesn't give accurate values for games/packs that are over $100 in value. The point cost is hardcapped at 100 but the CV they give is much higher than the calculator suggests.

I can't do anything in that case, unless CG wants to tell us the real value for the pack instead of the points needed to enter :)

This is so much easier to understand, and makes things a lot more fair than it used to.

Is there a way to tell if a game you're giving away has been bundled, so you know what you're going to get for value?

So if a game we gave away a long time ago gets put in a bundle, we lose 85% credit for it?

No. You would only lose some CV if the price on steam gets reduced.

Ok thanks, just wondering. I was Level 3 earlier this morning and now 2 again, so I just didn't understand why.

Yeah, also, how can I know what bundle games give only 15% and how much does the rest give? You said: " from your first few bundle games" <- what does this mean? Where's the line between the first few bundles and the later ones? Or am I terribly misunderstanding something?

You can look up the game @ Bundled or not

I'm referring to the old system there with the "first few bundle games", because you got full value for those until you reached 30$ of CV back then.

minus one level 3 and plus one level 4 :)

or bump if you prefer

Wonder if there's a legit way to see the current numbers of users per level?

Don't think so, only for groups, so for the S.Gifts group for example: http://www.steamgifts.com/group/SJ7Bu/steamgifts/stats
cg might implement a global stats site though: http://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/gHolE/group-pages/search?page=2#wPGlaKz

If I give a pack away in which all the games are bundled (like XCOM: Enemy Unknown + The Bureau: XCOM Declassified) but the pack itself is not, do I get full CV for it or only 15%?

As of right now I would say full value because Shobo didn't add that pack to the bundle list. Depens on the bundle and if it's added here: http://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games

I have a question ... if you giveaway non-bundled game and you receive the CV and then the base price of the game in Steam store goes down, does your CV also go down to corespond that price?
