In the US, Steam digital gift cards come in $5, $10, $25, $50 and $100. In the UK they're £4, £10, £25, £50 and £100.

Steam shows the amounts for your store's currency on its Gift Cards page. The UK's smallest card is £4 rather than £5, and the Japanese ladder jumps from ¥5,000 to ¥15,000. Steam's choices don't always look like a straight conversion. If you're buying for someone abroad, Valve says a digital gift card "will automatically be converted into your friend's currency", so pick the amount in your own store's money and let Steam convert it.
How to give an amount that isn't on the list
There's no custom amount, so combine cards:
- $15: one $10 and one $5.
- $75: one $50 and one $25.
- $150: one $100 and one $50.
Every card goes into the same Steam Wallet, so your friend sees one total. For the sending steps, see sending a Steam gift card to a friend. Since July 2026 you can also send a card to an email address, or buy one as a guest with no Steam account; the same amounts apply. Buying a Steam gift card without an account covers the 30-day acceptance rule.
What about physical cards in shops?
Physical Steam cards came in the amounts each retailer stocked, and that's ending anyway. Valve has stopped restocking retail Steam gift cards and expects shops to sell out by the end of 2026. Steam gift cards leaving retail stores explains what that means. Wallet codes sold by retailers can also come in different amounts, so always check the value and currency printed on the card. Valve now limits redemption to the currency of your wallet, so a $50 code is only useful to someone with a US-dollar wallet.
How much should you give?
It depends on what they'll buy. A $5 or $10 card covers DLC, a cheap indie game or a sale bargain. $25 gets most mid-price games, especially in a sale. $50 and $100 cover new releases or a pile of sale games. What can you buy with a Steam gift card? has examples by budget, and the Steam sale calendar tells you when that money goes furthest.

Limits to watch
- The wallet cap. The Steam Subscriber Agreement caps what a wallet can hold plus spend in any 24 hours at US$2,000 or the local equivalent, and says deposits over that "may not be credited" until the balance drops. Valve's Market FAQ adds that balances across all of one person's accounts are added together for the limit. If a gift would push your friend over, it may sit uncredited.
- Currency. A card bought in one currency is meant for a wallet in that currency. See Steam gift card from a different country.
- Payment. Gift cards can't be bought with your own wallet funds, and PayPal only works in six currencies. Buying a Steam gift card with PayPal explains.
