The Boxleiter method can be used to roughly calculate the revenue of games that have been released on Steam.

It involves multiplying the amount of total reviews by the price of the game in question, and then multiplying that with a magic number.

The script performs the calculation with a few magic numbers, and also one that assumes the product was initially sold for about 60 EUR/USD. The displayed currency is set to euros, however this is only cosmetic. No currency conversion is made.

Format information:

  • Revenue: The ballpark estimated net revenue based on the estimate that seems to work best for most games.
  • Revenue (€60.00): The same as above but with a starting price of 60, combined using the golden ratio.
  • Gross Revenue: Best Guess (blue), Pessimistic Estimate (red), Optimistic Estimate (green)
