How does Steam leveling work?

Your Steam level grows with XP. The cost of a level steps up every 10 levels: levels 1-10 cost 100 XP each, 11-20 cost 200 XP each, 21-30 cost 300 XP each, and so on.

The main source of XP is crafting badges. A badge made from a full card set of one game is always worth 100 XP, so the sets you need equal the XP you need divided by 100.

XP for every Steam level

Levels	XP per level	Total XP	Card sets
1-10	100	1 000	10
11-20	200	3 000	30
21-30	300	6 000	60
31-40	400	10 000	100
41-50	500	15 000	150
51-60	600	21 000	210
61-70	700	28 000	280
71-80	800	36 000	360
81-90	900	45 000	450
91-100	1 000	55 000	550

The pattern keeps going past level 100. The calculator handles any level.
