Gaming Currency Calculator & Spend Tracker
Find out exactly how much your in-game purchases cost in real money. GameSpending converts virtual currencies to real-world value for over 100 games worldwide — covering Western titles like Fortnite and Valorant, Korean games like MapleStory and Lost Ark, Japanese gacha games like Fate/Grand Order, and Chinese games like Genshin Impact.

- Saint Quartz (Fate/Grand Order)
- NX Cash (MapleStory)

How Virtual Currency Pricing Works
Game publishers price virtual currency in bundles, and larger bundles almost always deliver a lower cost per unit. For example, a small Robux pack gives around 100 Robux per dollar, while the largest available pack gives up to 120 Robux per dollar — a meaningful difference if you spend regularly.
Prices also vary by platform. The same bundle can cost more on PlayStation or Xbox than on PC, because console storefronts charge platform fees that publishers pass on to buyers. Some games, like Roblox, offer subscription tiers (Roblox Premium) that grant a permanent bonus on every purchase. GameSpending's calculators reflect current pricing so you can compare options before you buy.

Gacha Games: Real Cost Per Pull
Gacha games use virtual currencies to obscure real-money costs. The table below shows the approximate cost per pull and expected spend for a guaranteed top-rarity unit in popular titles, calculated at standard (non-first-purchase) rates in USD. The pull-cost column assumes you buy the best-value bundle available for each game.
| Game | Currency per pull | ~Cost per pull | Hard pity | Est. spend per 5-star |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genshin Impact | 160 Primogems | ~$2.45 | 90 pulls | ~$175–$220 |
| Honkai: Star Rail | 160 Stellar Jade | ~$2.45 | 90 pulls | ~$175–$220 |
| Fate/Grand Order | 3 Saint Quartz | ~$1.44 | 330 (JP spark) | ~$475 (worst case) |
| NIKKE: Goddess of Victory | 150 Gems | ~$1.86 | 200 pulls | ~$370 |
| Zenless Zone Zero | 160 Polychrome | ~$2.47 | 90 pulls | ~$175–$220 |
| Wuthering Waves | 160 Astrite | ~$2.47 | 80 pulls | ~$100–$200 |
All figures use best-available bundle pricing at standard (non-first-purchase) rates. First-purchase doublers, daily login bonuses, event rewards, and free in-game currency can significantly reduce real spending. Use each game's individual calculator for current bundle prices and first-purchase rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much are V-Bucks worth in real money?
V-Bucks cost approximately $0.0067–$0.0090 USD each. The standard 1,000 V-Bucks pack costs $8.99 — about 111 V-Bucks per dollar — while the largest 13,500 V-Bucks bundle at $89.99 gives roughly 150 V-Bucks per dollar, the best available rate. Prices differ slightly between PC and consoles due to platform fees. Use the V-Bucks calculator to see the exact rate for any bundle.
How do I convert Robux to real money?
At the standard rate, 1 Robux costs approximately $0.01 USD — about 100 Robux per dollar. Larger bundles improve that rate: the biggest 24,000 Robux pack gives around 120 Robux per dollar. Roblox Premium subscribers receive a 10% purchase bonus on every pack, adding roughly 10–12 extra Robux per dollar. Divide the number of Robux by the bundle's per-dollar rate to find the real-money equivalent, or use the Robux calculator for instant results.
How much does 1,000 Genesis Crystals cost in Genshin Impact?
In Genshin Impact, 980 Genesis Crystals cost approximately $14.99 USD. Crystals convert 1:1 to Primogems (with a first-purchase double-up on each denomination). Since 160 Primogems equal one wish, each wish costs roughly $2.40 USD at standard rates — a key figure for budgeting gacha pulls.
Is GameSpending free to use?
Completely free with no registration required. All calculators, the spend tracker, and the parents guide are available at no cost. Data is stored locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server.
Can parents use this to track children's gaming spending?
Yes. The spend tracker and parents guide are designed for exactly this purpose. Log purchases across multiple games, view a running total in your local currency, and use the breakdown to have an informed conversation about budgets and spending limits.
How many V-Bucks do you get for $10?

Console storefronts (PlayStation, Xbox) may charge slightly more than PC or mobile due to platform fees. Use the V-Bucks calculator to compare all bundle options side by side.
What is the cheapest way to buy Robux?
Without a subscription, the 24,000 Robux bundle at $199.99 gives the best per-unit rate — about 120 Robux per dollar. Roblox Premium subscribers receive a 10% purchase bonus, so combining the $19.99/month Premium tier with the 24,000 Robux bundle pushes the effective rate to roughly 132 Robux per dollar — the highest achievable value. Smaller Robux packs range from about 100 to 120 Robux per dollar depending on tier. See the Robux calculator for the full breakdown.
How much does one wish cost in Genshin Impact?
Each wish costs 160 Primogems, obtained by converting Genesis Crystals 1-for-1. The 980 Genesis Crystals pack costs $14.99 USD, giving roughly 6 wishes at about $2.45 each. First-time buyers of each denomination receive double Crystals, halving the cost on initial purchases to around $1.25 per wish. With Genshin Impact's 90-pull hard pity and an average of 70–80 pulls for a 5-star, expect to spend approximately $175–$200 USD per guaranteed 5-star character at standard rates. Use the Genesis Crystals calculator for exact pricing.
How much does it cost to pull in Honkai: Star Rail?
Each Warp in Honkai: Star Rail costs 160 Stellar Jade, purchased as Oneiric Shards. The best-value bundle is 6,480 Oneiric Shards for $99.99 USD — about $2.47 per pull. Limited character banners use 90-pull hard pity with a 50/50 guarantee system: winning the coin-flip costs roughly $100–$130 USD for a limited 5-star, while losing it and reaching pity again raises the total to $175–$220 USD. First-time buyers of each denomination receive double Shards, halving the cost on those initial purchases. Use the Oneiric Shards calculator for current bundle pricing by region.
How much are EA FC Points worth in real money?
EA FC Points are the premium currency for EA Sports FC's Ultimate Team mode. 500 FC Points cost $4.99 USD (about 100 points per dollar), while the 12,000 FC Points bundle at $99.99 gives 120 points per dollar — the best standard rate. A Gold Pack in FUT costs 150 FC Points (~$1.25), and a Premium Gold Pack costs 300 FC Points (~$2.50). Larger premium packs run 750–2,200 FC Points ($6.25–$18.30). Unlike many games, FC Points pricing is consistent across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, though regional variants apply. Use the FC Points calculator to convert any bundle to real money before you buy.

Use the search bar on the homepage to find any game.
How much money have I spent on Fortnite V-Bucks?
To calculate your total Fortnite spending, use the V-Bucks calculator — enter each purchase and it converts them to real-money values based on the bundle you bought. The average Fortnite player spends $50–$200 per year on V-Bucks, though players who buy every skin and Battle Pass can exceed $1,000 annually. The spend tracker on GameSpending lets you log purchases over time and see a running total across all your games.
Are gaming microtransactions worth the money?
The value of gaming microtransactions depends entirely on your habits and budget. Battle passes typically offer the best value — a fixed price for dozens of cosmetic items across a season. Cosmetic-only purchases like skins and emotes add personalisation without affecting gameplay. Gacha-based spending carries the most risk, as the randomised pull system means outcomes are never guaranteed. Using GameSpending's spend tracker to log every purchase gives you a clear view of your total outlay across all games, making it easier to set — and stick to — a gaming budget.
Which game has the most expensive premium currency?
Among widely played titles, Fate/Grand Order and Genshin Impact carry the highest cost-per-outcome due to their gacha mechanics. FGO has no hard pity on the global server, meaning a guaranteed 5-star Servant can theoretically cost over $475 USD. EA Sports FC Ultimate Team packs are also notably expensive relative to their expected returns. The gacha cost comparison table on GameSpending compares expected spend per guaranteed top-rarity unit across six popular titles side by side.
How much does it cost to pull in Zenless Zone Zero?
Each Signal Search in Zenless Zone Zero costs 160 Polychrome, purchased via Monochrome. The best-value Monochrome bundle is 6,480 for $99.99 USD — roughly $2.47 per pull. ZZZ's hard pity is 90 pulls for an S-rank agent on a limited Exclusive Channel banner, with a 50/50 guarantee system. A guaranteed limited S-rank typically costs $175–$220 USD at standard rates for players who lose the 50/50. Use the Monochrome calculator for exact per-bundle pricing.
How much do Lunites cost in Wuthering Waves?
In Wuthering Waves, 980 Lunites cost $14.99 USD, converting 1:1 to Astrite (160 Astrite per Convene/pull). At the best-value 6,480 Lunite bundle ($99.99), each pull costs roughly $2.47 USD. Wuthering Waves uses a generous guarantee system — losing a 50/50 on a limited resonator banner guarantees the rate-up resonator on your next pull — so a typical guaranteed S-rank costs around $100–$200 USD, often less than comparable gacha titles. Use the Lunite calculator for current pricing.
How much does the Fortnite Battle Pass cost in real money?
The Fortnite Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks per season — approximately $8.56 USD when purchased using a 1,000 V-Buck pack ($8.99), or as low as $6.33 per season if you buy from the best-value 13,500 V-Buck bundle at $89.99. Epic Games also offers the Fortnite Crew subscription at $11.99/month USD, which bundles the current Battle Pass with 1,000 V-Bucks and an exclusive monthly Crew Pack. Consistent players who complete all Battle Pass challenges earn 1,500 V-Bucks per season — enough to cover the next season's pass — making it effectively free after the initial purchase. Use the V-Bucks calculator to find the cheapest way to buy 950 V-Bucks.
