Steam Releases 'External Funds Used' Tool
Have you ever wondered how much money you've invested into your entire Steam collection? Well, now you can! Valve has recently added a nifty feature called 'External Funds Used' that allows Steam users to see the total amount of money spent at the Steam store. All users have to do is sign into their Steam account at this link. Do note that the tool doesn't take into account key activations. So, games that have been purchased through third-party stores like GOG, Green Man Gaming, Humble Bundle, G2A, and etc. will not contribute to the grand total. The "OldSpend" field equals to the amount of money that was spent before the Limited User Account policy was implemented in 2015. The "PWSpend" is related to purchases made on games operated by Perfect World Entertainment. a Chinese company that runs CS:GO and DOTA 2 in China. So, how much have you spent? Let us know in the comments below.

But it has been more since I've been buying almost exclusively from bundles the last 3 years.
Old Spend $895.20
PWSpend $0.00
Meh..14 years with steam
$3530.33. Not bad actually considering I have 234 games. This equates to:
$15.09 per game
$371.61 per year
$1.02 per day over 9.5 year account age
95% of my games are AAA too with all DLC's, season passes, etc. barely have any indie games on my account and I do little to no bundles
I think I did pretty good considering most of my game purchases were during sales

I have 108 games. I didn't realize I spent this much. =o I have 638 games on my wishlist. Joined in late 2013. I'm only level 7 on my profile though. I feel like I just play the same 2 games.

I have been on Steam since 2006 and now i own 648 games .
Is not a lot considering being over 11 years XD .
I myself only spent €, for example, but their logging is still in $.
This makes sense, as Valve themselves operate on dollars.
I will say that most of my cash spent is on specific DLC, but I do have many many game titles. I am unsure how many of those are actually purchased via steam, as I do buy keys from other places as well. Since we're here on TPU, I've know for a long time that I tend to have a very large library of games compared to most, but at the same time, I also know I am far from the most "prolific" gamer here on TPU and definitely there are 4 or 5 users at least who have much more than I do. I just like to paly games and I haven't worked a 9-5-type of job in well over a decade so I have lots of time to play these games compared to the average person...

6 years 39.84 a year 102 games 2.34 per title.
Adding an estimated $100, for Humble, GOG and Origin 3.34 per title.
Most have been Steam keys, I have a bunch of keys, still unused, on Humble AND I have a few, 3 or 4, I have gotten free here, in giveaways and contest's.
I have yet to finish building a gaming box. When I game, it is dwindling, time wise, I play indie's on my Lappy Top. I have many games in my Steam, that have not been downloaded, due to the inability to play on my Lappy Top.
There will be a day, when I can devote time to gaming, more regularly. Between, my bicycle, motorcycle and gaming, things that help my sanity, all have been lost recently, for various reasons. I have ridden the bicycle a few times, but, I am slowly losing my mind! Work, Eat, Sleep. Rinse and repeat. Is the way things are, currently. The light at the end of the tunnel is out of site, but I know it is there, somewhere!
Lurking here, before work, is the only thing engaging me with the, gaming and, outside world. I spend most of my time here just perusing the news articles....oops.
Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on.
Carry on.
