In Counter-Strike 2, the Trade Up Contract is a mechanic that allows players to exchange 10 weapon skins of the same rarity for one weapon skin of the next highest rarity. While it may seem like a simple gamble, the underlying math is governed by specific formulas involving Float Values and Collection Odds.

How the CS2 Trade Up Formula Works

The outcome of a trade-up isn't random. The most critical factor is the Float Value. Every skin in CS2 has a float between 0.00 and 1.00, determining its wear (Factory New, Minimal Wear, etc.).

The Float Formula:
Outcome Float = (Average Float of 10 Inputs) × (Max Float of Outcome - Min Float of Outcome) + Min Float of Outcome

Understanding Wear Ranges

When calculating your trade-up, you must know the float ranges for the potential outcomes. For example, some skins are capped at 0.06 or 0.08, meaning they can never be truly "battle-scarred."

• Factory New: 0.00 – 0.07
• Minimal Wear: 0.07 – 0.15
• Field-Tested: 0.15 – 0.38
• Well-Worn: 0.38 – 0.45
• Battle-Scarred: 0.45 – 1.00

Profitability and Probability

A profitable trade-up strategy involves sourcing "low-float" skins at a low price to "force" a Factory New outcome from a collection where the top-tier skin is valuable. Our calculator helps you determine if the 10 skins you've selected will result in the wear condition you desire.

Tips for Successful Trade Ups:

1. Mix Collections: You can use skins from different collections. The odds of receiving a specific skin are based on the ratio of possible outcomes from the collections used.
2. Check the Caps: Always verify the minimum and maximum float of the target skin on a database like CS2Stash.
3. Total Cost vs. Expected Value (EV): If you have a 20% chance of hitting a $100 skin and the other 80% results in a $10 skin, your EV is $28. If your 10 inputs cost more than $28, the trade-up is mathematically "bad."
